If you’re still emotionally recovering from the rollercoaster ride that was Life Is Strange, don\t worry. You’re not alone.
The game’s unique blend of narrative depth, emotional storytelling, and real choices made it a standout hit in the world of adventure games. But once the credits roll, a burning question remains. What next?
Thankfully, the gaming world is full of equally captivating titles that put storytelling front and center. So we’ve teamed up with Eneba to have a look at the very best games like Life Is Strange.
Tell Me Why
Developed by DONTNOD, the same studio behind Life Is Strange, Tell Me Why feels like a spiritual successor. Set in Alaska, this episodic adventure dives deep into themes of identity, family, and memory.
You’ll play as twins Tyler and Alyson, who share a supernatural bond that lets them explore their shared memories. It’s a game that balances emotional depth with narrative tension, and it doesn’t shy away from tackling important social themes.
The Walking Dead Series (Telltale Games)
This one is a classic, no arguments. Telltale’s The Walking Dead changed the way gamers experience story in games. With heart-wrenching decisions, limited-time dialogue options, and brutal consequences, it feels like your choices genuinely matter.
Clementine’s journey from scared child to hardened survivor is unforgettable, and the comic book art style gives it a unique flair.
Detroit: Become Human
If you loved the choice-and-consequence system in Life Is Strange, Detroit: Become Human will be your jam. This game explores the lives of androids seeking freedom in a not-so-distant future.
The branching narrative is massive, with multiple playable characters and hundreds of possible outcomes. The production value is top-notch, and the game does a brilliant job of making you question morality, humanity, and loyalty.
Oxenfree 
Looking for something eerie, mysterious, and driven by dialogue? Oxenfree nails the tone and then some. You play as Alex, a teenager who unwittingly opens a supernatural rift while on a trip to an abandoned island. With a slick, minimal UI and no cutscenes, the entire game flows through natural conversation and exploration.
Firewatch
Firewatch casts you as Henry, a lone fire lookout assigned to the vast, quiet wilderness of Wyoming. Your only link to the outside world is the voice of your supervisor, Delilah, crackling through a handheld radio.
As mysterious events begin to unravel around you, the game pulls you deeper into its world with rich dialogue, emotional nuance, and breathtaking visuals. More than just a walking sim, Firewatch delivers a deeply personal, atmospheric experience that lingers long after the credits roll.
What Remains of Edith Finch
If you’re craving powerful storytelling with a surreal twist, Edith Finch delivers. This anthology-style game walks you through the lives—and often tragic deaths—of members of the Finch family. Each story is told through unique, creative gameplay mechanics, making it a short but unforgettable experience.
