Remember Me's Developers Have Announced a New Game

I'm not gonna argue Remember Me was 2013's best game, but it was one of the most interesting. It warms my heart Square Enix is partnering with DONTNOD Entertainment for a new game, the episodic Life Is Strange.

(What a cool title, by the way.)

Life Is Strange, announced today on Square Enix's blog, follows Max Caulfield's return to Acadia Bay, Oregon, after five years away.

"Upon returning home she discovers that Rachel Amber, a fellow senior at school, has disappeared under mysterious and rather uncomfortable circumstances. While trying to uncover the truth Max reunites with an old friend, Chloe, and makes a startling discovery: Max has the power to rewind time..."

The game's appears to center around unintended consequences. If you could rewind time, should you? You can't predict what might all might change, and Life Is Strange will most likely deal with all the potential bad stuff.

We don't know when Life Is Strange is being released, but it'll have a formal unveiling at Gamescom this week, and it's set to arrive for every platform but (drum roll) Wii U.

After wonderfully unique setting of Remember Me it's a shame to see them shift gears from the futuristic neo-Paris to, of all places, Oregon. The team has proven that they can craft beautifully comprehensive worlds with great attention to detail but despite a time rewind mechanic I feel like the setting seems extremely limiting. Time will tell, but I was really hoping for a sequel, spiritual or not, to Remember Me that would tweak some of the gameplay to help better match it's amazing aesthetics.

Being from Germany Oregon seems as foreign a setting as Neo Paris to me. I have literally no idea what it's like. There's some sort of trail there?

Also, I'm hoping the Shyamalan plot twist at the end will be that she prevents John Lennon's death.

Reminds me of Time Hollow in some ways.

I wonder if this one will bomb as hard as Remember Me did? That game was so sub-mediocre.

I'll be interested after I see how the reviews are. If the stories good I would definitely consider it.
