The quote: You couldn't have won, Max. There was no right or wrong choice. And I'm through feeling like I wasn't worthy of your decision. — Chloe Price
This is absolutely for the fans. I'm not even sure it's for all fans if I'm honest. It depends what people consider the canonical ending of the game, given that Life is Strange is a consequence driven game.
For those who need some background, the ending of Life is Strange is essentially built on the trolley problem. Best summarised in a graphic...
visual representation of the trolley problem
This graphic novel makes the assumption that chose Bae (ie Chole, the single person track) over Bay. According to the Life is Strange Wiki 52% of people chose to save Chloe. But I don't know how many people have replayed to get both plays or the possibility of that. I do know people that consider Bae over Bay the only valid option.
Full disclosure, I've not played the game. I want to but I haven't. I know of it and know some details because I spend an inordinate amount of time watching people play video games. In all fairness, I have no idea why I read this. I know just enough that I wasn't completely lost but not enough that I understood all the significance of what was going on. Which is fair and a mark of decent writing. Any time a graphic novel is this pretty and can include string theory and chaos theory work it deserves all the acclaim it gets.
I enjoyed Dust as much as I think I could. The art is pretty, the use of butterflies is clever and I quite enjoyed the plot. Given what I know about the decisions in the game I am glad the chosen quote exists.
So I decided to go ahead and do my own take on Chloe’s t-shirt design from the LiS comic-”Dust.” The artwork is by Claudia Leonardi & Andrea Izzo. I’ve also included a more accurate recreation of said design by Geekartistry on RB.
