The creator of the original Life Is Strange has spoken out against the “hateful” backlash to Double Exposure.
Michel Koch worked as game director on 2015’s Life Is Strange and the 2018 sequel before developers Deck Nine took over for 2021’s True Colors and the recently released Double Exposure.
Double Exposure sees the return of Max Caulfield, the protagonist of the first game, but there’s been no mention of their partner Chloe Price. A number of players have also paid for early access to the game and have been spoiling a number of plot points on social media, which has annoyed a lot of fans.
Writing on X, Koch said: “Since the release of Life Is Strange: Double Exposure I’ve seen a lot of tension and hateful messages against Deck Nine devs. I didn’t play the game yet, and I have no idea where they are taking the story but what I know is that nothing justifies hating on people for how they wrote their game!”
