- Quick Answer: This article is about the release and details of the new Life Is Strange prequel book, 'Out of Focus'.
You’d be hard-pressed to remember that Life Is Strange: Reunion came out this year unless you’re a die-hard fan of the franchise. Well, just in case you needed a reminder of its existence, the studio just released Life Is Strange: Out of Focus, a prequel book penned by Rosiee Thor, author of the True Colors-adjacent Steph's Story.
Out of Focus is a prequel to Reunion, which serves as the final chapter in the Max and Chloe saga—or at least, that is if the corporate overlords deem it so. Maybe they’ll find a way to milk the characters even more, as derivative and dull as Reunion already is.
The story follows Chloe, who makes a surprising return in Reunion, as visions of her death and Arcadia Bay mess with her psyche. She meets Izzie Margolis, who becomes the new manager for the up-and-coming band Drugstore Makeup.
The synopsis makes the book sound like an interesting slice-of-life story for those who want to stay invested in the world of Life Is Strange. Reunion does see Chloe wrestle with the pressure of her managerial role and the looming threat of seeing herself die, so for what it’s worth, Out of Focus could add a bit of depth to her characterization in the final game of the series.
