I never got this text and I have no idea about plant care.

Also mentions it in the dates for her journal. People should read up on it if they aren't, might be the only long form text entries I've ever bothered reading in a game. Occasionally has some details they don't explicitly mention in the episode,
especially this episode gets into the moments right after you talk Kate down from the roof and everyone's reactions.

Just finished episode 1 and I've got to say I'm completely hooked. Every time I go to a new area or room and there's lots of things to interact with, I get really excited. The story is so good I've actually read Max's journal and all her notes about each of the main characters which I never bother doing in other games.
So excited to start episodes 2 and 3 later.

I'm not so sure, but I don't think you "get" that text. I think it's there at the start of the first episode.

Is the thing with the photo just going to be a thing Max can do now? Haha that would be way too much power. I can't wait to find out where they go from here, what a strange ending.
Loved the episode as always, felt much shorter than the first two though.

Weird, it took me longer than either of the first two and I wasn't even looking around for the photo opportunities. It did take me forever to
figure out how to get into the principals office

I would think it's only photos that she's in, which limits the usefulness right there. Plus she can only walk/manipulate so far from the insertion point. So while a nice limited version of time travel it's almost useless.

Dammit. I think this is the missing SMS hinted at in the patch notes. WOULD HAVE BEEN REAL USEFUL LAST EPISODE, DONTNOD.

If you need him to be in the spot where he was before he ran away try going back in time.

It's a catch 22 for their writing. Max intended the entire door explosion/enter/rewind outcome once they realize it's locked seeing as she doesn't come to a sudden realization once she does it. But the developers can't actually have Max internally/externally explain this because it tips its hand to the player the solution for the puzzle.
Logically it still makes sense because if they attracted attention before being ready to open the door, it'd have to be two things Max would have to account for.

We'll surely be going back to our timeline at some point in the next episode. The teaser for it had Max in her OT clothes.

I suspect they'll rewind it back to 'normal' quickly, within at least the first third of the next ep. Assuming they wrap up this entire story in the next two episodes, they don't have a lot of time to spend on stuff that isn't the main mystery which I don't imagine this directly ties into.
Recorded the whole scene just to load it up again, sogood

Yeah, I don't think this is going to invalidate the choices we've already made. I get the feeling that Max is going to have a lot of difficulties accepting her new life and all the changes her decision brought. She'll try to find a way to reverse saving Chloe's dad just for the sake of getting back on track.
If we think about it,
Max being in good with the Vortex club could potentially mean she too was a cause of Kate's death in this new timeline. They seemed surprised at her sudden turnabout in attitude as she snapped in from the flashback sequence. It stands to reason that perhaps Max became a very different person until she re-injected herself into the timeline and that would be very difficult for her to live with. She also has to live with knowing that her best friend is in a wheelchair thanks to her. It'll be a tough decision, but I think Max would take a Chloe who has her freedom without her father over letting her be daddy's girl at the cost of her being able to live her life to the fullest.
That bit about Kate assumes that she gets bullied that much at all. And what about Rachel? Would whatever happened to her have occurred if Chloe wasn't there to help her get into so much trouble? So many 'what if's, instead of 'oh well's.

Just stand there looking at it until the prompt comes up. I think it's a bug.

Stand in front of it with the light pointing on it for a few seconds. It's a glow-in-the-dark figure, which the box sort of illustrates but it isn't super clear.
Grumble grumble, episode up and in my download queue, but my remote downloading doesn't work, even though it's in rest mode and the option is turned on.
Now I have to wait until I get home to download, then play, instead of just playing when I get home.
Anyone want to run to my apartment and turn on my PS4?

Awesome, thanks!
I love how Max uses her phone as a flashlight. Last of Us conditioned me to think it was a torch but the phone is just so accurate to real life.
I've just started the episode, and I have a feeling
I really hope this episode lives up to my hype. I adored the first two.

Yeah me either. I just figured I had to water it at every available opportunity
Oh well, at least my bunny is still alive!Anyway, finished episode 3 earlier tonight. Dontnod still bringing the awesome. Got some really Philip K Dick and Erica Reed's Cognition vibes from this episode. I like the way that
Max's power is evolving and she's got herself a new ability
go back and actually change Chloe's dad's death
Given that we see
Chloe in a wheelchair
Max as a drug taking Vortex Club member
you have to go back in time again and put everything back the way it was
Chloe's dad will still be dead and her stepdad will be a douche instead of a bus driver

I'm used to having all three together, though. That's much better.
Just finished now. I enjoyed myself, but I don't think as much as I did the other two. It just felt like we were treading old ground gameplay wise. Still, the game has a great atmosphere, and come on, freaking Bright Eyes! Although I'm dissapointed the game didn't have more songs. The ending was alright, I was expecting more of a shocker after reading the reactions in here.
I don't know if this has been discussed or not already on here, but are we to assume that

Chloe is gay, and was in love with, probably seeing Rachel? I realise it's actually kind of obvious and I feel stupid for asking. I think it's actually really nice seeing her and Max developing a thing. I'd love for the game to go down that route (not in a pervy kind of way. I'm a gay man myself so it would be nice to see this kind of relationship being represented so well

Ending spoiler:
Part of the reason why I love the ending as much as I do - heartpulling final scene itself aside - is it used Mogwai's Kids Will Be Skeletons as the final song for the episode. Always felt it was a perfect song to end an episode on since I first listened to it when the soundtrack came out on Spotify just before Episode One launched. Had a (brief) smile on my face listening to it play out the episode.
Shame they didn't go all the way to the end with it, but it's a five minute song, so understandable.

Also, first post in here since I finished it (though posted in the spoiler thread) --- wow.
First time I've welled up at a game since The Last of Us in 2013. And this is only for the third episode of a five-part season too. Jesus.
I'm honestly expecting it to calm down now for episode four ahead of the finale in the autumn, but at this point, there'd need to be something special from a game coming out for Christmas to beat Life is Strange as my GOTY. Because right now, it's starting to run away with it.

I really hope I'm not the only one who did the bean thing with Frank like 5 times, it was just hilarious + it had Max laughing which is always a bonus.

I did it twice. It was hilarious.
