Life Is Strange: Episode 4 is the game we’ve been waiting to play

The previous episode of developer Dontnod’s time-winding adventure game Life Is Strange left us on a bit of a downer. The one before that did, too, because I am clearly not cut out for suicide prevention.

Dark Room, the fourth installment, is out now for PlayStation 4 (which I reviewed), Xbox One, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC, and it gets the depressing stuff out of the way right up front. And then it sprinkles it across the rest of the episode. And then it gets way worse.
