Let’s be real for a second—Life is Strange: Reunion doesn’t just throw you into a story, it pulls you back emotionally. If you’ve played the earlier games, this one hits differently right from the start. And if you haven’t… well, you’ll still feel the weight of every choice pretty quickly.
This guide isn’t just a step-by-step checklist. I’ll walk you through what actually matters, what you should pay attention to, and the small decisions that can quietly change how things unfold.
Life is Strange Reunion Walkthrough Guide – Choices, Endings
Right away, the game reminds you: nothing is forgotten.
You’ll be asked about:
- Who Max had relationships with (Chloe, Vinh, Amanda)
- Whether you sacrificed Chloe or Arcadia Bay
- Your decisions involving Safi
These aren’t just cosmetic. They shape dialogue, emotional tone, and even certain scenes later on.
The opening dream sequence with Chloe is intentionally confusing—and that’s the point. You’ll see:
- The Overlook mixed with old locations
- A gravestone glitching identities
- Safi seemingly dead… then alive
- Max holding a gun instead of a camera
Don’t overthink it yet. This is the game planting seeds.
Max’s Return – Fire, Chaos, and Time Travel Again
Max arrives at Caledon University… and everything is already going wrong.
What you should focus on:
- The fire is not accidental
- Doors are chained, windows boarded → planned sabotage
- The cult Abraxas is hinted early
You’ll regain rewind powers, but here’s the twist:
They don’t help you fix the disaster.
This is intentional. The game wants you to feel powerless… before giving you control again.
Key Moment:
Max finds a selfie → uses it → travels 3 days into the past
This becomes your main gameplay loop:
Investigate → Fail → Go back → Fix
Meeting with Moses – Learning the Rules Again
This section is basically your “training arc,” but it’s more important than it looks.
Time Dojo Tests Explained
1. Drawing Puzzle
- Observe carefully before rewinding
- Correct answer: Mina Hiramatsu
If you mess up → rewind and retry. No penalty, but it teaches patience.
2. Cabinet Puzzle
- Don’t brute force it
- Use rewind + chair cushion to save the mug
- Then restore everything cleanly
This teaches:
Changing the past without consequences requires precision
3. Fire Incident
- You must act fast
- Warning Moses doesn’t work
- Solution: rewind while moving → unplug kettle
Big Realization:
Max is already changing events unintentionally.
This is important. From here on:
Even small actions can shift the timeline.
Max’s Class – Where Investigation Begins
This part feels chill, but it’s packed with clues.
Key Objectives:
- Help students succeed (use rewind if needed)
- Identify Safi (she’s disguised)
- Eavesdrop on Reggie (optional but important)
Pro Tip:
To overhear Reggie:
- Use Loretta’s mic gun
- Listen → then rewind so she doesn’t know
This gives you:
First real lead on Fermont House
Choice Moment:
Tell Yasmin you saw Safi or not.
- Tell truth → builds trust
- Lie → she becomes suspicious
No immediate consequence, but affects later interactions.
Snapping Turtle Party – Social Stealth & Clues
This is where things open up.
You’re not just walking around—you’re gathering threads.
Talk to:
- Amanda → no useful info, but character development
- Vinh → confirms Abraxas history + Owen connection
Important Side Actions:
- Fix Amanda’s comedy set (rewind to remove heckler)
- Interact with Lucas for hidden info
The Lucas Trick:
You need to:
- Spill beer (intentionally)
- Check his stuff
- Listen to his podcast
- Rewind to erase evidence
This reveals:
Fire started at Fermont House
Now you finally have direction.
Fermont House – First Major Intervention
You’re now actively preventing the disaster.
Inside the Basement:
- There’s a ritual altar (Abraxas connection confirmed)
- Loretta is here too
Dialogue Tip:
You can:
- Threaten her
- Or cooperate
Either works, but cooperation feels more natural story-wise.
Bomb Defusal Puzzle (Important)
You must cut 4 wires, but:
- One is blocked if you trigger the shelf
- So leave that one for later
Strategy:
- Identify all explosives first
- Avoid knocking shelf early
- Rewind if needed
You have time pressure—but rewind removes it.
Chloe’s Perspective – Backtalk Returns
This section gives you control of Chloe again.
Backtalk vs Noelle:
- Win → reduces tension later
- Lose → makes her more aggressive
Not game-breaking, but affects tone.
Important:
You learn Max is heading to danger → Chloe follows.
This aligns timelines.
Hellerton House – Emotional Reset
After the chaos, this is a slower, character-heavy section.
What matters here:
- Chloe’s memories differ based on your original ending
- Timeline inconsistencies become obvious
Depending on your past:
- Chloe remembers dying
- OR Arcadia Bay being destroyed… but now restored
Key Theme:
Time is broken. Not just altered—broken.
FAB Building – Pieces Start Connecting
This is where the investigation deepens.
Important Discoveries:
- Owen is tied to Abraxas
- Vinh is hiding things (but not fully corrupt)
- Safi is impersonating people
Sneaking into Owen’s Office:
You must:
- Use his phone
- Trigger AI (Callie)
- Distract Vinh
If you fail → rewind, try again.
Campus Investigation – Safi’s Game Begins
Now you’re chasing Safi directly.
What to do:
- Talk to multiple NPCs with folders
- Eliminate suspects
Smart Play:
Don’t rush. This section is about observation.
Final Clue:
Folder from Yasmin & Vinh → message from Safi
She wants you to follow her.
This is no longer a mystery.
It’s a game she’s controlling.
