Introduction:

Life is Strange is a five-part episodic point and click adventure story similar to the Telltale games. You play as a girl named Max Caufield who is enrolled at a prestigious photography school in a small town in Oregon. You acquire "rewind" powers which allow you to fix your mistakes or choose another path, letting you tailor your story exactly how you want.

 

Step 1: Play the episode

Just enjoy the story and don't worry too much about the photo ops. Most of them are fairly obvious, and only a few require specific dialogue choices. You can read ahead so you don't miss any, or just play how you like and finish up in Step 2.

 

Step 2: Mop Up

If you missed any photos, you can load up each area of the game in "collectible mode" to get them now.

Take all optional photos in Episode 4: Dark Room

 

After taking all ten photos you will receive this achievement as well. If you miss any pictures during the story, you can load various areas in "collectible mode" and get them this way without affecting any of your story choices or having to start a new play through. You can check your progress at any time by hitting the Back button and going to the third tab. The pictures in black and white show hints of what to look out for in finding the photo ops during the episode.

might want to change glitchy achievements to yes. I got all optional photos and beat the episode, but I didnt unlock the achievement for getting all optional photos. I got them all in one run, then went back in collectible mode and got them all again...it still didnt unlock

This may be more of an issue with Xbox Live, more than anything. I believe this happened to some people in Episode 3 as well, but the achievements unlocked some time later. Sorta like what originally happened with The Master Chief Collection.

I did recently have a problem like this in Handsome Collection as well, so hopefully thats it.

 

Yeah, my achievement for Photo #6 is stuck at Done! Unlocking... - it has nothing to do with the game.

 

My shutterbug one doesnt say that, its just locked.

I have four people on my friends list and myself included that all have Shutterbug stuck even though all photo's are taken and all relevant acheivements have unlocked fine. This is also days after the XBL troubles so this is definetely glitchy.

 

Out of curiosity, did anyone here with this problem take photo #10 before #9? I did and I think this may have something to do with the problem as they were taken out of sequence.

 

Going to be real pissed if our completion is messed up because of this.
