It's an interactive movie, but a good one.

What kind of game elements does it have? Shooting, puzzles, platforming?

Puzzles and some action. Also collectibles.

Interactive Movie. Interaction, but a looooooooooooot of hand-holding that more times than not defeats the purpose/enjoyment of exploration.

Most of time-travelling-related puzzles. Especially the last part of the episode with tornado and falling trees.

It's an adventure game, meaning a lot of entirely optional exploration with multiple actions you can take that may or may not have an effect on events in the future; many conversations with multiple dialogue trees; environmental, object and conversation-based puzzles; and a few pseudo-action sequences near the end.

It's like a choose your own adventure book, but you really get to wander around and check stuff out. I'm only 17 minutes in and really digging it.

It is a game at the heart, but seems like a movie. It is a interactive video game movie hybrid. I am loving it. The story is awesome. Also if you want you can watch my first episode of the play through, to see what its like before you buy. Youtube Blizerkian Life is Strange vol 1 Play through Ep 1

Interactive movie with "walking simulator" elements (there are pretty a lot of segments with a bit of exploring with possibility to find new dialogues npcs, items and other "lore" stuff for a single episode). Also, there are extremely simple puzzles, which may be an advantage to make experience more fluid, closer to the movie in a good way.
Also there are time rewinding mechanique, that helps you to decide, which (maybe) plot changing decision suits better to you without any repetitive loading and listening to the same dialogues (you can skip, if you heard them already).

It's a point and click adventure game akin to The Walking Dead nut without combat like most point and clicks.

"Interactive movie " is a game .. If you cant interact with the media and have no control over the events, then is a movie. This is a game, with some "time travel" puzzles, the usual find stuff, like tools to progress to the history, there is some tension and some easy and short platforming section with time travel and teleportation.. You should buy it.. is just 4.99$
