This Easter egg provides a chilling foreshadowing of the tragic fate of one of the game’s characters, Kate Marsh. As revealed in the Easter egg, when Kate’s name is mentioned during a particular scene, she can be seen walking along the roof of the school in the background. This subtle hint foreshadows Kate’s contemplation of suicide later in the game, a harrowing moment that players can prevent if they make certain choices. Despite my familiarity with the game as a fan, I, like many others, missed this Easter egg during my playthrough. It is a testament to the game’s meticulous design that such a significant detail could remain undiscovered for so long. The Easter egg serves as a poignant reminder of Kate’s struggles and the impact of bullying. While it is a disturbing discovery, it also highlights the attention to detail and the emotional depth that made Life is Strange such a compelling game. If you haven’t experienced Life is Strange yet, I highly recommend checking it out. And when you do, keep your eyes peeled for this haunting Easter egg that foreshadows a heartbreaking event in the game.
The recent announcement of Life is Strange: Double Exposure has led to renewed interest in the Life is Strange franchise, especially its debut entry. This is because Double Exposure continues the story of Max Caulfield, the protagonist of the first game. Fans are eager to see what happens next for Max, and newcomers are jumping into the original game for the first time to see what all the fuss is about.
All that attention to Life is Strange has led to the discovery of an Easter egg that few players have ever picked up on. I consider myself quite a Life is Strange fan, and I certainly didn’t notice this moment when I played it, nor did I read about it anywhere. Chances are most Life is Strange players didn’t notice this blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment, but it’s definitely worth seeing.
We’re putting the Easter egg after the jump because it contains some pretty major spoilers about one of the game’s characters, Kate Marsh. Also, be aware that the Easter egg covers some very heavy subject matter, so be careful when clicking through.
As fans of Life is Strange will know, Kate Marsh is one of the students you’ll encounter throughout the adventure. Kate has endured some absolutely horrific bullying, which ends in her contemplating suicide by jumping off the roof of the school. While you can prevent this depending on your choices, a moment earlier in the game foreshadows Kate’s potential fate.
As you can see in the clip above, Kate can be seen walking across the roof of the school in the background when Kate Marsh’s name is mentioned. It’s a pretty disturbing discovery, but still an interesting Easter egg for the eagle-eyed fans. Did you catch this while playing Life is Strange?
