Making a sequel to a beloved franchise is always risky business. And the only thing that is riskier than making a sequel to a film or video game is making a prequel.  A prequel must recapture the magic of the original as well as introduce new ideas to set it apart. All of that while leading up to a story of which we already know the beginning, middle and end.  Developer Deck Nine was charged with the task of going back 3 years prior to the events in Life is Strange and reintroducing us to Arcadia Bay and the people that inhabit it.
