Life is Strange: Chaos Theory - Decisions Life is Strange Guide
On this page of the Life is Strange you can view all decisions from Episode 3 (Chaos Theory) along with their consequences. It should be mentioned that the decisions affect the situation in the game, but achievements aren’t connected to them.
Last update: 25 January 2022
Decision #1
The first decision, or rather the effect of your previous actions, is whether your plant survives or not. If you watered it in both the first and the second episode, the plant dies. In order for it to survive, you have to water it in only one episode.
Consequences:
Chapter 3
Max will send her mom a message saying either that she killed the plant, or that the plant is fine.
Decision #2
The second decision is when you are looking for ingredients for the bomb. While in the chemistry lab, approach the desk and search through the tests, as seen in the picture. You can find out about Warren's bad grade and change it.
Choice: Change Grade
Consequences:
Chapter 3
Max can change Warren's grade he received for the experiment to B+/A+ (depending on whether you helped him earlier, during the experiment).
Chapter 4
Warren messages Max about his grade.
Chapter 5
Max can now kiss Warren.
Choice: Change Grade
Consequences:
Chapter 3
Warren's grade remains to be B-/A-.
Chapter 4
Warren messages Max about his grade.
Chapter 5
Max can now kiss Warren if she helped him earlier.
Decision #3 and #4
The next decision is about removing a couple of names from Vortex club invitations and putting your own there. You make this decision in the swimming pool. It is important not to talk to Chloe in the swimming pool before finding the boxes seen in the picture.
Choice: Remove Names
Consequences:
Chapter 4
If Max convinced Courtney to enter her to the list, she will now help her enter the VIP section. Otherwise, nothing will help and Max will have to sneak around the swimming pool.
Decision #5
Another decision is about the recorded message from a police officer in Chloe's house. The message will inform David that Chloe's car was seen in front of the swimming pool and that she is responsible for the break-in. Simply erase the message in order to spare her troubles. Playing the message also bears consequences. If you do that before erasing the message, you will have to rewind time, as Chloe's mom, Joyce, will hear it.
Choice: Erase message
Consequences:
Chapter 4
Chloe will receive mail from the police summoning her to come to the interrogation, which is connected with her car being spotted around the school at the moment of the burglary.
Joyce will message Max that she knows it was them that broke into the school.
Choice: Didn't Erase message
Consequences:
Chapter 4
David answers the mail in an attempt to protect Chloe.
Decision #6
Another decision is in the parking lot. You can again warn Alyssa against a danger. In order to do this you have to approach her so to see the Warn option. Right after she is splashed by a car, rewind time as much as you can and quickly select this option. You will only have a second or so to do this, so you might fail at the first time.
Choice: Warn
Consequences:
Chapter 3
Alyssa will talk to Max about Kate.
Chapter 4
If Max saves Alyssa for 4 times, she will dedicate her Robert Frost's poem.
Choice: Warn
Consequences:
Chapter 3
Alyssa did not talk to Max about Kate.
Chapter 4
As a result, Alyssa will not cite Robert Frost's poem
Decision #7
In order to encounter the next decision you have to walk around the diner. Here you will find a homeless woman, whom you can tell the truth (warn her) or just ignore her.
If Max tells her the truth, she will believe. The woman will escape the city before a tornado strikes. Otherwise, she will die.
Decision #8
Another decision is in the moment shown in the picture, in the last chapter. You can take a picture of Chloe and her dad or not. To do this, approach the camera lying next to Chloe and take a picture. If Max takes the photo, it will appear in Chloe's room in the alternative reality. If she does not take the photo, it will be absent from the room.
Decision #9
The last decision is whether or not you draw something on the fireplace. Approach it on the right side (as shown in the picture) to see this option.
Choice: Draw
Consequences:
Chapter 4
The symbol will be present in the alternative reality, at Chloe's home.
Mark may later on comment on the symbol.
Choice: No Action
Consequences:
Chapter 4
The symbol will not be present in the alternative reality, at Chloe's home.
Mark will not comment on the symbol.
