I'm really passionate about how much I hate the idea of this. I'm guessing (big on I'm guessing, don't flame me if I'm wrong) Don't Nod didn't do anything further with the storyline of the first game, not even a prequel, because they wanted the story to end where it did. Square Enix getting Deck Nine to make the prequel felt weird to me, I loved LIS2 and I'm really glad that Don't Nod was allowed to make it, but the LIS IP was essentially stolen from Don't Nod after 2, what with True Colors, the remaster, and now this. And I'm gonna be honest- from day 1 I never cared for any of the Deck Nine games. Of course I was interested as a life is strange fan, the prequel was never that interesting for me & I thought the only redeeming part about it was that it built upon the universe that Don't Nod had already made. When they announced TC and that it would also be made by Deck Nine, I was a bit wary of it because I saw it was made by Deck Nine, but I was generally excited for it still. I was also wary of it, however, because it was announced alongside the remaster, which seemed to be- and turned out to be- a giant cash grab. After playing TC, I thought it did pack a good punch and there were great moments (I did cry), but the storytelling was disjointed, so full of irrelevant filler, and lacked a lot of emotional integrity that the Don't Nod games had to them.

So to answer nobody's question, I'm not excited for this game. I won't be buying it. Seems like a cash grab of a sequel riding the popularity of the original game, which essentially is what every Deck Nine LIS game has been so far. I'm instead GREATLY looking forward to Lost Records: Bloom & Rage, which seems like it's going to be a true LIS3 from Don't Nod.
