Why Life is Strange 2 writers ratcheted up the drama in Episode 3

Life Is Strange 2 is an emotional story about two brothers on the run, and in the recently released Episode 3, emotions are coming to a head. Sean, 16, is responsible for his rebellious 9-year-old brother Daniel.

But Daniel has supernatural powers that mean he isn’t your typical kid. He can cause a lot of trouble, and so Sean has to convince Daniel not to use his powers. But Daniel won’t always listen, and he will base his own behavior on how you, as Sean, behave yourself.
