Max has always worn the deer outfit and has always been the shy character. The Ghost Deer disappears after they find Rachel, after Max’s duty is fulfilled. If Max’s destiny in this journey was to help Chloe discover what happened, then it was fulfilled. Instead, it led her to the place where Rachel was buried. Wouldn’t that freak her out? But it didn’t. I had one regarding the Ghost Deer when they find Rachel’s body. This theory not only answers a bunch of plot holes, but also a lot of questions. The message actually reads: “When you’re dead, I’m going to see you real soon. However, if you look closely, the times on the messages are backwards. When I first read this, it seemed like it was condescending. If you go into the text messages in the journal during the dream sequence, you will see these images: Chloe is able to get closure on Rachel because now she has something and someone to blame for the loss of her love. Max is able to save Chloe, multiple times, thereby destroying the guilt she felt before about not doing so. The first game tackles both of these, allowing both characters to die peacefully. Max - To save or help Chloe in anyway possible to ease her guilt and make up for lost timeĬhloe - To find the truth about Rachel as well as rediscover her own self-worth and know that she was, and always has been, loved by those that were closest to her. Here are the goals of the two characters: The whole first game is an elaborate journey to close off the demons that bothered both Max and Chloe. This is her path, if you will, to the afterlife. She wakes up and is in Jefferson’s class, goes to the bathroom, but this time she has time travel powers. This starts the adventures of the first game. She thinks, “Maybe if I had reached out to her, I could have saved her”.Ĭhloe and her were inseparable, and I think she may have killed herself after she saw her best friend murdered in a school bathroom. She hasn’t tried to contact Chloe the entire time she had been in Arcadia Bay. She uses the restroom, then what? A boy and a girl walk in. She goes into a stall, but there is no butterfly. Picture Max doing the same routine from the first scene of the game: she is walking to the bathroom. However, she never had time travel powers. My way of seeing it is that Max did return to Arcadia Bay for school. I think it is supposed to mean that Max killed herself. How would Chloe have any idea of these events? The dream is supposed to be in the present, 3 years before the events of the first game. She is the Max Caulfield from the previous game with the same shirt, hair, and camera. In this picture, Max is not the Max that Chloe remembers. Now, originally, I thought it was meant to symbolize how Max had abandoned Chloe (with the date on the tree crossed out) and how Max was therefore “dead” to Chloe. When I was playing Before the Storm, I opened up Chloe’s journal and found this image: This is a game that, if you strip away those magical elements, is about a relationship that is built off of hardships and trust. Yeah, it’s a video game and there can be magical elements sometimes, but this is different. I have always wondered how Max Caulfield ever got her powers in the first place.
