Out of Time

The second episode of Life is Strange is "Out of time", which is continuing the events of the first episode, "Chrysalis". Chloe slowly starts to believe in Max's new powers.

Max's bedroom in the dorm[]

The episode starts with Max waking up. Like in the previous episode, the player can interact with several items in Max's room.

Give water to the plant
Have a look at the book titles in the Max's bookshelf
Check the laptop for news
Play the guitar
Have a look at the clothes in the armoire
Have a look at Max's photo wall and family photos

Before Max can leave the room, she of course needs her shower equipment, which can be found in the armoire, too. She then can leave the room and head to the showers.

Dormitory hall[]

It's wise to have a look around before entering the shower. Outside in the hall Max can overhear a conversation between Brooke and Juliet Watson, about the viral video with Kate.

Shower room[]

When Max is entering the shower room, she'll find Kate already there. The girl seems tired and upset, but also will demand the book back, she had borrowed to Max. Max will promise to return it later.

After talking with Kate, Max has a shower. While in the shower Victoria walks in and makes fun of Kate. Kate walks out and Victoria writes the link to the video in question with lipstick on the mirror.

Max has a choice of erasing the link which will have a consequence later on.
If Max is using the faucet, so she can splash some cool water into her face, an annoyed cry will come out of the other shower.

Back in Max's room[]

Max has to return there to get dressed and to pick up Kate's book.

Kate's room[]

When Max enters, she realises the unusual mess in Kate's room. Kate is sitting in the shaded room on her desk, crying.

Max can talk right to her or have a look around.
The girls will talk and Max has a choice at the end of the conversation. Kate will ask Max about what to do, and if she should go to the police. Max can tell her to do it or tell her she needs more proof, or the police won't believe her.

Two Whales Diner[]

The next stop for Max is the Two Whales Diner where she and Chloe will meet for breakfast.

Chloe will challenge Max's power and players must watch closely what will happen.
First, Chloe wants Max to tell her, what is in her pockets.
After this seemes not enough for Chloe, she wants Max to predict the "future".
Kate will call Max on her phone, when Chloe and Max are about to leave the diner. Max either can take the call - and upset Chloe - or let the phone ring. (This action will have consequences later.)

The Scrapyard[]

Later both will leave and Chloe shows Max her "secret lair" - the scrapyard. While Chloe is waiting and preparing the shooting range, she sends out Max to find beer bottles for the shooting session.

Max should search the yard properly, in the "club house ruin" she can find a letter from Rachel and some graffity.

One bottle can be found on top of the boat.

Max can gather a great photo shot of a doe (which already appeared in one of her strange dreams).

When Max finally has found all the bottles, Chloe will prompt her to say where she should aim.
- Shooting at the car causes an explosion, if Chloe hits the gas tank.
- Shooting at the bumper causes Chloe to get shot in the stomach by a ricochet.
- Shooting at the wheel rim causes an imbalance and the old car will slowly slide down, crashing all the bottles left.

Frank will suddenly appear and demand his money from Chloe. Max has a choice of shooting him or not. If not, he takes the gun. If she shoots, The gun is empty and the guy threatens Max, but leaves the gun with the girls.

Railway[]

Chloe and Max then lie on the train tracks, when Chloe tries to get up, she gets stuck and Max has to help her, before the train arrives.

Max can decide to either manipulate the fusebox, or destroy it entirely.

When manipulating the fusebox:

Max must hurry and manipulate the fusebox.
- There are three wires inside which can be cut to make the switch move.
There is a shack on the hill above the two, but the door is locked.
When Max goes up to the shack, she can find a crowbar leaning against some boards. She can try, but it won't move the switch.
Max can pry open the the door of the shack and then can search the drawers for some useful tools.
- In one drawer are pliers.

When destroying it entirely:

Max must hurry and destroy the fusebox.
- There is a large spool next to the shack on the hill, but it's impossible to move. There is a wedge in its way.
When Max goes up to the shack, she can find a crowbar leaning against some boards.
Max can pry off the wedge in front of the large spool.
- Now Max can push the spool down to the tracks.

Blackwell Academy, Classroom[]

Later in class a student will come in and say something is happening at the girl's dorm. When Max arrives there, a huge crowd has gathered in front of the dormitory watching Kate on the roof. This situation will bring Max's power to its limits but she must get up there and try to talk Kate out of committing suicide.

After Max has made it to the roof, she has no energy to rewind time. Now she just can talk with Kate.
Kate will either jump or change her mind.

The Principal's Office[]

After the dormitory scene, Max is sitting in the principal's office, who wants to find out what happened with Kate. Max can blame one of the other meeting attendees in the room, Nathan, Mr. Jefferson or David Madsen.

The episode closes with a strange and not predicted solar eclipse. With Chloe texting Max saying sorry about Kate and Max telling her they should find out what's happening together,
