Life is Strange: Double Exposure Walkthrough Guide

Once in the bar, you will see a dialogue between Safi and her mother. Here you will need to switch between the worlds of life and death to understand the situation and make the right choices.

World of Life

Talk to Safi and Yasmin, going through the available dialogue options. When you have the opportunity to move freely, go to the bathroom and press L1 to switch to another timeline.

Exit the bathroom and talk to Amanda at the bar. Then return to the bathroom and switch back to the «World of Life.»

Talk to Amanda again, then return to Safi and Yasmin and take their picture. After that, discuss all the available topics. Then return to the bathroom and switch to the other world again.

Examine the cow skull that towers above the stage but is impossible to reach. Return to the bathroom to switch the timeline again.

Take the stepladder standing near the spruce. Then return to the bathroom and switch back to the death timeline.

Interact with the cow skull above the stage again and choose «Inspect.» Rotate the skull until you notice the signature on one of the horns. After that, return to the bathroom to switch timelines.

Exit through the door leading to the terrace, where you will notice two young people. They will have the bathroom key in their hands. Talk to them to learn more about their intentions, then head back inside and try to switch to an alternative timeline.

Enter the room and use the R1 key to activate the pulse and carefully listen to the conversation. After the conversation ends, go to the bar and take the bathroom key lying next to the bar.

Hang the bathroom key on the key hook, and you will receive the trophy Loyal Flush. Then talk to Amanda about the skull.

Reach the opposite shore of the lake and capture the snowman in the camera lens. Then head to Vinh, who is at the foot of the large statue at the entrance to the FAB building. After the conversation, you will need to return to the opposite shore to talk to Diamond, who is waiting on the bench. All that remains is to enter the building.

Head right towards the library, where you will meet Lucas. He is ready to tell you important information about his book, which features a cow skull on the cover. During the conversation, you will need to be inventive and find a way to subtly distract him to get a chance to look into the briefcase.

Take the marker from the table and use it on the stand behind the man. Approach Lucas and tell him about the hooligans who ruined his stand. As soon as he gets up from the table, take the chance to grab the case key.

Search the briefcase. When you decide to close it, Max will find an important paper. Unfortunately, Lucas will notice you rummaging through his things and will beg you not to send the photo to the girl.

Next, you need to go to Gwen's office. After the cutscene, enter and examine the books lying on the side. Inspect the table and pay attention to the compositions. You have the opportunity to change Loretta's grade, which may affect her perception of the situation and your further interactions with her.

If you decide to leave Loretta's grade unchanged, she will receive a «B» instead of a «B-». Note that this Loretta is different from the one who interviewed you for her podcast. Therefore, not lowering the grade for this random student may be the most reasonable decision.

After this, examine the computer and play all three messages on the answering machine. Then switch to another timeline.

Water the plants in the office to get the achievement «Thirst Trap». Then take a picture of the unusual bookstand on the shelf to the left of the table.

Listen to all three messages on the answering machine again, and then look at the calendar on the wall. This will help you use the computer to find information about Gwen's conversation with Maria.

Exit Gwen's office and go left to talk to Vinh. The guy will tell you about an incredible oddity — he forgot the password to his phone.

You need to get into his phone after finding out the password. Talking to the man, you will learn about a certain Jack Parsons — the date of his death is the phone password. Head to the library and study the books shown in the photo.

Approach the man's table and unlock the phone. From there, you will learn that Safi was cheating on her boyfriend.

World of Life

After watching the cutscene where Reiji tells you that he saw his second self, follow the path and pay attention to the «Heart Stopper» candy bag on the floor just past the gate. Pick it up. Continue along the path until you encounter an obstacle. At this point, you can switch to the dead timeline.

Continue moving until you reach the police barricade. Then use the switch next to the warning tape to transition to the parallel timeline.

Climb to the top. Once you get there, you will find Gwen. Take some time to chat with her.

She will show you a flash drive with «evidence». You will be given a choice: save the data or support Gwen.

Once you make the decision that suits you, switch to the alternative timeline.

Examine the police markers on the ground. Look under the tarp, talk to Loretta, and watch the cutscene.

Find the place where the transition to another timeline occurs. This point is around the corner, next to the cleaning cart.

You need to help Moses with his small problem. Since he took evidence from the crime scene and his office is full of cops, your task is to find and retrieve that very piece of evidence.

Enter Moses' office and start a conversation to ask him about a place where he might have hidden something valuable or important.

The hex key he asked for is on the table in the center of the room.

Hand the wrench to Moses. He will head to the cabinet in the far corner of the room to get a kettle. Take the locker key and return to the other timeline.

Unlock the locker with the key and find and read the note «Look under the safe.»

Since you don't know where the safe is, ask Moses directly. You will learn that he hid the camera under the star. Then return to the other timeline.

Pay attention to the Star Atlas at the end of the room. It indicates the location of the star Saiph in the constellation. Go upstairs. Turn on the star projector and align the stars using the drawing on the wall as a guide.

Go downstairs and carefully examine the image of Orion on the wall to find the star Saiph. You will notice that the camera is carefully hidden inside the ventilation duct, but note that this access is currently blocked.

At this moment, a detective will burst into the room, so switch to the other timeline.

Carefully remove the singing toy from the Christmas tree, which attracts all the attention. After that, go upstairs and switch again.

After Max sets up the toy, immediately switch to the world of life so the detective can't catch you.

Interact with the box containing parts of the telescope and move it to clear the passage. When the corresponding notification appears, press L1+R1 simultaneously to set up the telescope. Take the opportunity to quickly retrieve the camera from the vent.

Return to the active timeline. At the end of the cutscene, you will automatically be on the dead timeline. Talk to Alderman, who will offer you to inform him about everything you know.

After watching the cutscene, you will find yourself with Moses at your home. Go to the kitchen and examine the puzzle box. Look at the constellation image and pay attention to its details. You need to carefully move the pins to complete the creation of the whole constellation.

Then, by rotating the cube, extract the appearing dial.

Now carefully move both disks so that all the symbols take their correct positions. On the outer disk, try to place the staff so that it is in the upper right corner, surrounded by sparkles. Then make sure that the star and the book are located directly under it on the inner disk.

After that, by turning the cube once more, interact with the panel that just detached. Here you will discover the symbol of Abraxas and receive the achievement «Thinking Outside the Box».

Water the giant plant belonging to Max, which is in the corner of the room. Then open the back door leading into the house, where you will be greeted by a cat.

Pick a name for it and look into the kitchen cabinet to get some food and feed it. Move to the parallel timeline.

Approach the coffee table and examine all the items on it. After that, head to the Dark Room located under the stairs to join Moses.

Entering the room, talk to Moses, trying all available dialogue options for a complete understanding of the situation. In the last captured photo, Safi turned out to be Max with a gun in hand.
