You should check your library. I just ordered it and got my key after checkout.

Still nothing, it seems that people who have pre-ordered still haven't received their keys.

Looking good. Any of the reviews mention the length? Considering it's episodic I'm hoping for it to be at least on par with TellTale's normal length of around 2 hours.

Hm wut I thought this was out tomorrow? I just installed it on Steam and can play right now (US btw).
2-3 hours according to reviews.

Not from reviews but the devs said around 2hrs each episode or ~4hrs if you want to really mess with everything.
apparently first episode is about 3h long
Reviewers are saying 2-3 hours for the first episode.
I wasn't sure on this game but these reviews are amazing, I'll definitely buy it tomorrow!

Good thing they are offering a demo going to tell my friends to try it out

For me, this did not work, but the code HYEHZ0-GNKD1A-GFNGMQ did.
Not sure if it's just a personal one though.
13.50, crazy good price, feel a little guilty for paying so little for a day one release.

Bought the whole season for 13 bucks on GMG, I hope the episodes aren't too far apart.
There's no demo on pc
Nope. Demo is for consoles only. :/
About 6 weeks between episodes.

My main pre-release worry was that DONTNOD would overplay their hand with the indie aesthetic--when they mentioned listening to a bunch of soft-spoken indie folk to get into the mood, I started to worry about whether I'd be playing Bon Iver meets Garden State: The Game. So I'm really glad to hear that Life Is Strange is at least a bit smarter and more subtle than all that.

Some form of exploit I'd guess?
Is that hard to do on Steam normally?
(I remember the early 360 years when it was fairly common to see people exploiting some security flaw to easy unlock achievements en masse).

It is very very easy. Also apparently the game unlocks at midnight of whatever time zone you're in. Not difficult to fake that on PC.
I'd be very proud of them if they manage to keep that on point.

Glad to see it getting good reviews.
Probably going to wait to pick it up until there are more episodes out but definitely a great start for the game.

Does anyone know how many episodes they've planned? Does it play out like the Telltale games?
Five episodes, I believe.

Is there a release schedule for the episodes? Telltale has tought me to wait until it's complete.
Got a chance to play it earlier this week. I didn't play it with 100% attention and focus on exploring the world, because I was only going to have a few hours with the game, but I did complete the chapter.
I really, really dig it. It feels a lot like a Telltale adventure game to me, which, okay, cool, but the thing that caught my interest was the overall subject matter. It's girls, interacting with other girls, just getting to be girls. It's like a slice of life high school drama centered around female characters, and good lord, that's so, so unusual for videogames (outside of the occasional exception). Yeah, it's got the slightly supernatural twist (so far), but so much of the game still feels so grounded and "normal".
I also walked away totally adoring Max when I was done with the chapter. I love her as the protagonist, and I want to experience more of her life as the next chapters come along.
We're going to be putting up our "review" soon, but we wanted to also include an audio discussion with it where myself, the reviewer, and another staffer chatted about the game and our opinions.
Every six weeks.

I just bought this on Greenmangaming for $13.50. 10% off already plus another 25% discount code floating around. Whole season for it.
I loved Remember Me and really want to support Dontnod however I can, so I'm all over this. Can't wait to give it a shot tomorrow....I already got my key when I just bought it, too.
Awesome just jumped on this

Good on these guys. My sister is currently playing Remember Me and enjoying it a lot. Probably will grab this for her once it goes on sale.

As mentioned, there will be a total of five episodes with a new episode every six weeks.
As to if it plays out like a TT game, I can only hope that it completely exceeds anything TT have put out in recent years. It's time for some more involved gameplay in the story adventure genre. TT have gotten very lazy since TWD...
Some competition might light a fire under their asses.
Examiner gave it a 5/5.
I'm not sure whether to pick this game up now for $14.40 on GMG or wait until all the episodes are out...
$13.50. There's an email you get from GMG that gives you 25% off the complete season.
Game is now available on Steam, but still no key from GMG..
*flips table*
At least DONTNOD saying every six weeks. It's been over two months since Tales from the Borderlands Ep 1, and Telltale still hasn't said anything about Episode 2.

Really? I just bought it from GMG about a minute ago and got my key right then and there. I'm downloading as we speak.
