(Spoilers about the ending)I love this game and I love the characters but the game is clearly based in, at least, two movies. The first one is clear: The Buttefly Effect. The second one is a Spanish movie directed by Alejando Amenabar (Abre los ojos, The Others): Tesis. The game's plot was a little like Tesis and the end, in the dark room, is clearly based in Tesis, when Angela is kidnapped and she is going to be the next victim.
shareI don't know if it's based on those films but maybe they were inspired by some mediums.
shareTo me it felt like a mixture of The Butterfly Effect, Silent Hill: Shattered Memories (my favorite Silent Hill game--this is how you do the the most gut-wrenching video game ending of all time), Uzumaki, and Degrassi.
shareDonnie Darko too.
shareThe song The Church - Under The Milky Way would have fit with the soundtrack of Life Is Strange.
Donnie Darko to sacrifice yourself or others.
Life is Strange to sacrifice Chloe or others.

There are also a lot of Twin Peaks influences and references in there (Chloe's license plate, the graffiti in the Two Whales' bathroom). The dream sequence in Episode 5 is also very David Lynch.
