Ahm, hello Life is Strange fandom- I got an announcement
I have been working on my own LiS fan visual novel
This is VortexVN,
You play as Victoria waking up from a hangover with no memory of the week prior, you are tasked with piecing together what happened between her and one of the 4 love interests.
And of course the love interests are:
-Chloe (Chaseprice)
-Max (Chasefield)
-Kate (Chasemarsh)
-Rachel (Amberchase)
The game starts with a quiz; you unlock a route by picking answers related to the character you wanna romance (they are very obvious)
It takes place in an AU where the events of LiS1 and BtS didn't really happen and there are no special powers, Victoria's still a bi tch- I guess that's her special powers.
Think of this game as a spiritual successor to Love is Strange by Team Rumblebee rather than Life is Strange 1
Gameplay so far is your typical point and click visual novel affair, you will be given options to explore rooms, examine objects and talk to other characters- the interactions will play a crucial part in how the game ends,
You can win the girl or get rejected or worse... It will depend on how Victoria carried herself throughout the game,
Mistreating certain characters may prove to be a dealbreaker for the love interest,
Each girl has two close friends in the dorm that you should not upset (I'll reveal who in the guide pdf)
This game is also perfect for Victoria haters as you can ruin her life
The game has its own journal system that will be different depending on who you're romancing, it also comes with a read button (I blurred most of the text so you can get curious and play the game)
Read button will display the journal content in Open Dyslexic font
In the demo you'll only get to explore Victoria's room and the dorm hallways and you'll get two encounters from Juliet (Showers) and Alyssa (Hallway)
VortexVN is still in development, I have finished part.1 of the project and will start polishing it soon- the initial build of part.1 will be available to play as a demo!
The cutscenes lack color and proper shading at the moment and you will find placeholders as well, the art style is all over the place- this will change after the polishing phase
Download links:
Mac and Windows
Web browser ver (I don't recommend that you play it on mobile, also the web version lacks animation and takes forever to load graphics)
Note: I'm not monetizing this project nor do I claim ownership of the Life is Strange ip, all materials and assets presented in this visual novel were either created by me or are royalty free- I did not lift anything from the games via data mining or by leaks
This game is not a response to or a gotcha at Life is Strange Double Exposure or Deck Nine, I didn't really dislike the game
Besides, I've had the idea of a Victoria centric fan game since the first LiS back in 2015
I'm open for feedbacks! You can DM me or reblog this with a review or something- maybe write a comment.

I admit the idea of Jimmy and Mandy being best friends is growing on me. Instead of the two being a couple born of lies, I see more the idea of Jimmy genuinely regretting his actions and building an actual friendship with Mandy. This dynamic between these two do work, it's funny.

Was thinking about Earnest and I started to realize something regarding him. What if I tell you what he did towards Mandy was not really over Ted (more like he was an excuse) but rather a very personal "vendetta" regarding the cheerleader captain? Let me explain in more details:
Earnest appears to us as the classic poor nerd whom the jocks make fun of for no reason, pretty much making us feel sorry for him, but the more we get into the story the more we realize his actual weird nature. An aspect I saw people rarely talk about him is his "views" on women.
He have that classic mentality in which "ugly men" deserves good looking women due their big brains. In the Candidate & Chapter4, he makes comments about this mentality and how clearly he's jelous of the Jocks having all for themself the prettiest of the girls in the school.
Beatrice does not make an appearance in chapter 4, the focus is entirely on the boys from the clique. This makes me wonder if he did not involve her due to the "fear" of her saying something against him or, simply, perfectly confirming that she does not matter due to her "look".
Here is what I'm trying to say: Earnest Clery "wants" to win a pretty girl's heart due his delusional belief. And, you can guess who the most popular and pretty girl in the school is... Mandy. The concept of defearing the jocks and winning her definitelly comed into his mind.
If we try to talk to Mandy at the start of the game, we get two options actions from her: she kick us and run away for "daring" to speak to her or simply makes fun of us for be "losers". It is easy to guess what she totally did the same thing to other boys, especially the nerds.
But there is another important detail. Angie pretty confirm us that Mandy is actually a sweet girl if we manage to get to know her well, making us realize that she is clearly playing a part due to the "canis canem edit". What if i tell you that Earnest TOTALLY creeped her out?
In "Discretion Assured," I noticed how many pictures presented in the missions are not coming from Jimmy. This makes me think that Earnest definitely stalked her way before our arrival. He simply asks for "more pics" so, if something happens, we get the full blame in the matter.
Bully included a cut mission in which the point was to blame the Jocks for having stolen the "Paddle" from the headmaster. At one point, we ask Ricky to distract Mandy and she, cleary upset, ask the Jocks for help. This made me realize how many times Mandy had guys bothering her.
For get into the focus point, Earnest definitely tried many times to "convince" Mandy to be his and she, understandbly, pushed him off on it. He may have seen it as a way for her "not to want a nerd loser" while clearly it is a matter of her being unsettled by a truly creepy guy.
Earnest decided to "play dirty" by taking and sharing those pictures of her, clearly not due Ted. He could have easily done this to him or worst but didn't as "that was not the point". He was definitely hurt in his ego by the cheerleader so.. he took the opportunity to ruin her.
As who was into a similar matter as Mandy + studied psychology, I can say how cruel men can be towards women who say no. Paparazzi clearly was an ideal of Earnest to make sure Mandy was mocked and undesirable, if he could not have her... no one else will. She's the main joke now.
