Episode 3 Bugs
  • The game is very stuttery (usually audio) - usually during a scene change - seems to be a caching issue, if the checkpoint is restarted it tends to smooth out but that's not always an option.
  • When Sean sits on Daniel's bed (in the flashback), his hand clips through his shorts.
  • In the camp, the dog that follows Sean around gets stuck on objects (especially around the fireplace).
  • In the camp, the dog that follows Sean around sometimes is blocking during cutscenes.
  • When Sean makes coffee and sits down, his sweatshirt clips with the chair.
  • At the farm during the cutting scene, when Big Joe gets up to go into the back room he has no animation and stands in the cross pose until he comes back out.
  • At the camp, offering to help Hannah with peeling potatoes, if you click on one of the last ones it can end up with Sean peeling an invisible potato and she ends up with one embedded in her hand until after the conversation is completed.
  • At the lake when training with Daniel, there is no lip animation on a few lines after the third exercise is complete (it also tends to stutter there which may be related.)
  • During the party on the last night, there are some oddities with the background animations.

Lots of flying objects too, especially scissors and flashlights going haywire.

I exited the game (after the save icon played) in the section where you're trying to steal the truck and when I came back, it dropped me back in the camp, creeping without a torch and with (so far as I can tell) an invisible barrier on the exit from the camp to where the trucks are. After failing to get out that way, I went back to the lake because there was nothing else I could do there and oddly Cassidy was there again waiting for me. Entering the lake area repeated the skinny dipping scene, but for some reason with all Sean's clothes still on! But then I couldn't get out of the lake area because every time I go to leave, it re-triggers the skinny dipping scene. Weirdly on the 3rd iteration Finn appeared out of thin air and watched!?!? At this point Life is even more Strange than it's supposed to be! I don't see any way out of this situation - especially as my save is now updated in the broken loop at the lake. I'm hours into this chapter and replaying the whole thing, trying to remember all my decisions so the outcome is still the same will be a real pain. The only other options are to start Episode 4 with random decisions, which would suck, or assume Daniel blew up the whole world and Sean is now in some weird skinny dipping purgatory and just stop playing entirely :( :( :(

I work in the games industry myself, so I know bugs happen, but really something this game breaking and easy to accidentally trigger (all I did was quit the game after a save point) should have been picked up by QA.

EDIT: I just went to replay Chapter 3 and found out you can pick back up at a bunch of different points, including the truck stealing scene, so thank you DONTNOD for having that as a feature! It's like the designers knew QA wouldn't catch all the game-breaking bugs, or at least prepared for the possibility!
