When last we saw Max, she’d just reunited with her estranged BFF Chloe. Okay, so that’s maybe not the most amazing use of time-rewinding powers, but… And let’s not forget that this is just one more day in the life of Max Caulfield, our unlikely time-travelling heroine I wouldn’t be surprised if things get worse before they get better. So don’t like the indie music, bright colours, and gorgeous art style fool you: this is not a happy game. I’m really not exaggerating, either: on returning to the title screen after finishing the episode, I was greeted with a scrolling message telling me that I should visit a page on the official site for help finding support groups in my country if I’m affected by any of the issues in the game.
Other than the pervasive mystery of what happened to Rachel Amber (which, all told, might wind up being incredibly dark by itself), this episode touches on themes like drug dealing, and loansharking, and suicide, and date rape, and disbelieving authority figures, and probably a whole lot more that I forgot thanks to the cavalcade of awfulness present in these two to three hours. Probably one of the lighter moments of the episode.
