Many 'items' in Life is Strange: Before the Storm are not portable objects but rather parts of the environment that Chloe can interact with. These interactions often trigger dialogue, reveal hidden information, or are necessary for puzzle progression.
- Graffiti Spots: These are specific locations on walls, dumpsters, or other surfaces where Chloe can tag. Finding and interacting with them is the game's primary collectible mechanic.
- Music Players/Radios: Interacting with these often changes the background music, adding to the atmosphere or reflecting Chloe's mood.
- Mirrors: Chloe often interacts with mirrors, triggering internal monologues that reveal her thoughts and feelings.
- Tools & Parts (Junkyard): In Episode 2, you'll need to find specific tools (e.g., wrench, battery) and parts to repair Chloe's truck. These are scattered around the junkyard and require careful observation to locate.
- D&D Board Game: In Episode 2, if you choose to help Mikey, you'll interact with the D&D game board, making choices that influence the outcome of their session.
The game encourages exploration and interaction with almost everything in Chloe's surroundings, as even seemingly minor objects can offer insights into her character or the world of Arcadia Bay.
