The first episode of Life is Strange: Before the Storm launched today on Steam, PS4, and Xbox One. Developed by Deck Nine, the prequel to 2015's Life is Strange—made by Dontnod Entertainment—follows 16-year-old Chloe during the early stages of her relationship with Rachel Amber, who went missing during the events of the original game.

If you've been interested in Life is Strange: Before the Storm, or you're new to the series and wondering if the prequel might be a good jumping-off point, take a look at footage of the first 10 minutes of the game. The video showcases Chloe's backtalk mechanic, testifying to Deck Nine's goal of making dialogue a keystone in both the story and gameplay.

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
