It’s rare to find a character who can have such an electric personality, while also carrying an awkwardness that brings her back down to earth. This is especially true with her first encounters with Rachel, who is the popular girl around the school and the town. There were quite a few times where she showed a sense of social awkwardness, which isn’t visible as much in the main game when she’s an adult. In Life is Strange: Before the Storm, another thing you notice about the blue-haired audacious teen is her awkwardness. The aforementioned Max is highly relatable as well for her laid-back nature, but nobody in the game is as emotionally vague as Chloe. Some video game characters handle loneliness well, while others handle it like Chloe, who can behave in unpredictable ways.
The reason loneliness is such a critical emotion for her is that it is arguably the most contradicting part of the limbic system. Chloe’s loneliness as a character just adds to her pyramid of feelings as well as her importance. Sure, she had people she knew and may be acquainted with, but Max was her one true friend until she meets Rachel. On top of this, her best friend, Max Caufield (main game protagonist and a great character in her own right), left Arcadia Bay. This could’ve been avoided if it weren’t for the family tragedy that haunts her throughout both the main game and the prequel. Normally a happy person, Chloe has tangled with the two-headed monster known as anger and sadness. There are times throughout Life is Strange: Before the Storm where she doesn’t really know how she should feel. Essentially, Chloe is like multiple people crammed into one video game character and her unpredictable amygdala contributes to this.
Her constant shift in thoughts and feelings is almost a metaphor for human life itself. Although she is highly expressive, she also has a calmer side as well. She’s a character who covers a ton of areas of emotion, feeling, and personality.
Also, there’s nothing fancy about her as she has no powers, no combat (except with her epic trash talking), etc. There are a lot of people who have been in Chloe’s shoes in some form and may even handle their issues the same way as she does. Yes, there have been numerous video game characters who have that label, but not many are as realistic as she is. Her importance as a video game character all lies in her relatability factor. The tale is not only about Chloe and Rachel’s relationship, but also about Chloe herself as she tries to deal with the loss of her father. In the game, you take a little trip into her past as she befriends Rachel Amber, the mysterious girl who receives numerous mentions in the main game. Chloe Price, who is arguably the face of the series, made her only playable appearance in Before the Storm. By Colin Mieczkowski 4 years ago Life is Strange 2 announced another episode, but what about Life is Strange: Before the Storm’s protagonist, Chloe Price, makes her a significant video game character?Īlthough Life is Strange: Before the Storm came out in 2017, it was a solid prequel that led to the release of Life is Strange 2.
