Was about to pay steam $20 for this (heck, its even $23 on G2A). But combining Square Enix's store and the Humble bundle you can get all episodes of Life is strange for $10ish
$8.90 AUD - Life Is Strange - Season Pass (2-5) - Square Enix Store
$1.00 USD - Life Is Strange - Episode 1 - Humble Bundle
Steam keys for all.
Referrer gets, 5+ Chocobo Feathers (Item Tokens), Exclusive Mount, 20% Bonus XP Ring, Teleport Stone (Free teleport to set location).
Referee gets 20% Bonus XP Ring, 99x Free Teleportation tokens, Unique Greeting, 10X Silver Chocobo Feathers (Item tokens).
Totally worth it for this price. Set aside time to play each episode entirely (2-3 hours each tops depending on how thorough you are), though I'd suggest playing each one separately. They are quite emotionally draining.
How exactly do you get the season pass for 8.90, on the SE website it shows 16.99. Cheers mate, merry xmas.
Edit: nvm apparently my browser went to SE NA. SE EU is the one who has the promo, cheers
I'm getting an error 5002 trying to buy this. Did you do anything special or use a VPN or something?
No need for a VPN (it will actually get more expensive if you do), its the eu/australian site (its in Australian dollars).
I couldn't click the pay button (has happened before with their site), I juist used Edge instead of chrome.
Thanks for the tip. I finally managed to make my way through the marsh although it involved far too much work on my part.
For anyone else having similar issues purchasing it looks like there are a combination of factors at play:
@Melo: Sounds like Square Enix are not ready for prime time. I'm going to wait for a Humble Bundle. I got too many games to play right now anyway.
@lostn: Yeah not a great experience to be honest. If it weren't for the fact that I've been holding out for this game and it's at the price range where I'm willing to bite I wouldn't have bothered going through everything I did.
Their site really needs work done in many areas. E.g. They don't encrypt the profile/address details page
@Melo: this sounds like such a mess i'm surprised i got through the transaction first try without any hiccups. everything luckily aligned for me. the Chrome thing is odd though, i did the whole thing - registered, adding to cart, completed transaction just fine - in Chrome.
Other thing you can do is pay more than the average at humblebundle to get 33% of the season pass.. so you pay a few dollars more overall to get the other (>5) bundled games as well as the Life is Strange series.
Cheers :)
Can you use that voucher now though? I bought the squarenix Christmas bundle a month ago and the life is strange voucher can only be used after the 6th of Jan.
33% off season pass coupon is to the humble store (not square enix) bringing it down to $13.39 USD. So still better off with above deal
Game was worth the (I think) $30 I paid on release day of episode one.
This is a steal! Great story and cool concept. Prepare for feels.
does this game work on mac?
nope, pc only
Does SE store give steam keys?
Yes
Perfect timing, I just finished ep 1 recently. Thanks!
thanks so much OP, was about to pull the trigger on steam for ~$20 this afternoon as well! very glad i waited.
Best game this year. This genre is rare and well written
Nice normal deal.
Trying to buy this, Pay Now button does nothing,
Use Edge or IE
Thanks
Bought it based on the comments and just finished the last episode. What a brilliant game, thanks so much OP for posting the deal.
And without giving anything away, WOW what an ending!
Youre welcome :)
I surprisingly didnt enjoy it as much as i thought i would, still enjoyable though.
Bought the game, and although it was a bit slow to start, the last couple of episodes really picked up for me. It was quite a good game.
Make sure you get your parents or guardians to sign your permission slip for this feels trip.
