The charming visual novel by Brianna Lei is all about gay asian girls, baseball, and love. Before the Storm is only a brief look at Chloe and Rachel’s relationship, but it wears it brazenly on its sleeve, not once shaming or hiding their identities. Rachel is a whirlwind that makes Chloe’s chaos look tame, and the pair compliment each other is ways games don’t often depict accurately. Before the Storm is the prequel story to Chloe’s frantic search, and it details the wild bond the two created. The first Life is Strange hints and eventually confirms that Rachel Amber isn’t just Chloe Price’s best friend-she’s a bit more than that.
