Who will you save? Your dear friend Chloe or the sunny town of Arcadia Bay with all its inhabitants? If the wound generated by that choice is certainly always painful, a question will surely have manifested itself in the minds of the fans: which of the two endings can be considered effectively canonical? As we all know, Dontnod has never officially confirmed which of the two conclusions is to be considered "official" and, considering the nature of the game, it could not be otherwise. The same sequel del videogame, announced a few months ago, should be completely disconnected from the story of Max and Chloe, providing for the entry of new characters.

However, it would seem that, in the end, a choice has been made.

The two endings of Life is Strange

Fans of the Dontnod game have long debated which of the two Life is Strange endings it was "the best choice". On the one hand, in fact, we will actually go to save an entire city and all its inhabitants, while sacrificing our best friend. On the other hand, however, Max had already sacrificed a lot to keep Chloe alive during all the events narrated; the relationship between the two characters is in fact the fulcrum, the beating heart of the game, and many wanted Max and Chloe to end their stories by staying together.

Regardless of what has just been said, it can be safely said that the ending that sees Chloe survive is certainly very hard. By making this choice, in fact, we will see the tornado invest Arcadia Bay with all its violence and, immediately after, a cutscene will start in which Max and Chloe leave their hometown, now destroyed, leaving behind their past and the broken lives of all their relatives, friends and acquaintances, without dwelling on any survivors. If, on the other hand, we choose to save Arcadia Bay, it will be Chloe who succumbs: we will go back to the moment when it all began, choosing not to interfere with the passage of time and letting our friend die. Immediately after, a filmed sequence will be activated, which will show us Chloe's funeral, making us understand that their relationship was more than just a friendship.

Life is Strange: Dust will explain to fans the events following the first ending we described, the one in which we choose to save Chloe. Although fans will then be able to "hug" one of their favorite characters, one thing is certain: there are still black clouds on the horizon.
