Throughout Life is Strange: Before the Storm, certain objects act as catalysts for plot progression or reveal crucial information. These are not items you 'collect' in an inventory, but rather objects you interact with to trigger events or dialogue.

- Chloe's Truck: Her beloved, beat-up truck is a symbol of her independence and a recurring plot point, especially in Episode 2 where you work to repair it.
- Rachel's Bracelet: A significant item that symbolizes Rachel's connection to her past and her family. Its discovery and your choices surrounding it are pivotal.
- The Play Script ('The Tempest'): This item is central to the school play storyline in Episode 1, and your interactions with it (and Rachel's role) are important.
- Photos/Letters: Various photographs and letters found throughout the game provide backstory and reveal secrets about characters like Rachel's family and Sera.
- Chloe's Journal: While not a traditional item, Chloe's journal is a key interactive element that tracks her thoughts, graffiti, and story progress.
- Frank's Knife: A dangerous item that appears in tense situations with Frank, representing the volatile nature of his character.
Always be observant of your environment and interact with anything that has a prompt, as it often leads to important discoveries or dialogue.
