Yeah, it’s hard to keep track after they quickly abandoned the numbered naming scheme after 2. And I think that was partly because people were confused by the un-numbered prequel featuring the same setting and cast of characters while the numbered prequel was almost entirely separate.

Caveat: I have not played Double Exposure yet so I am not sure how directly connected it is to the first game, but the others are disconnected enough that anyone can basically just jump into the series with any title at any time. Exception would be Life is Strange 1 and Before the Storm, which are directly connected, but I’ve heard it said that they can still be appreciated in either release order or chronological order. Only notes I have on that are:

• Life is Strange 2 - A character from the original game and Before the Storm plays a minor role in the story, but context is not required to understand the plot.

• Life is Strange: True Colors - A character from Before the Storm features prominently in the story, but context is not required to understand the plot.
