In the Living World ofLife Is Strange: Double Exposure, Dr. Gwen Hunter has been accused of selling drugs to students on campus. As a result, she’s been asked to leave school property pending a hearing with the campus review board to decide her fate.
While you are investigating the Observatory during Chapter 2, you’ll run into Living World Gwen at the overlook. She shows you a thumbdrive that holds footage of her alleged crimes, the tosses it into the trash can with a lighter. You have the option to reach and save the footage, or stand with Gwen and watch it burn.
What Happens If You Save The Footage
If you save the footage, Gwen storms off,upset that you didn’t support her. Then, if you tell her that you know about her killing Gwen’s book deal, sheasks if you snoopedin her stuff before leaving.
At the beginning of Chapter 3, while you’re looking at all your evidence so far in the dark room, you finallyget the chance to look at the footage. Max mentions it’s weird thatGwen is looking directly at the security camera, like she knew she was being recorded and would get in trouble.
You, of course, learn later that that wasSafi pretending to be Gwento get Gwen back for killing her book deal.
The next time you see Living World Gwen is duringChapter 3 Scene 4: Nobody Wants to Drink Alone. She’ll be sitting alone at one of the booths in The Snapping Turtle.
Talk to her andMax will give her the thumbdrive back. Max tells Gwen that it’s weird and suggests that she shouldtake a look at it and fight it.
Then, during the Krampus Party in Chapter 4,Gwen reports that it was very weird, but the board fired her anyway. She then decides tohelp you and Safi with taking down Lucas.
Finally, after the events of Chapter 5,Gwen shows up at The Snapping Turtle. When you and her talk, she mentions that she’s gonna see ifshe can argue her way back inand get her job back.
Ifyou do not give Gwen the thumbdriveand tell her to fight the accusations in Chapter 3,things will turn out with Gwen as if you destroyed the footage.
What Happens If You Stand With Gwen
Choose to stand with Gwen, and thetwo of you will watch the thumb drive burnfor a moment. She thanks you for listening and standing with her.
Whether or not you talk to her at The Snapping Turtle in Chapter 3, the board fires Gwen,she doesn’t help you and Safi confront Lucasin Chapter 4, and shedoesn’t show up at the end of Chapter 5.
Ultimately,the choice is up to you. However, we preferred the outcome ofsaving the footage and telling Gwen later to fight. At the end of Chapter 5, when she tells you that she’s going to try for her job back, she says,“I failed Safi, but there’s other students here I can still support. I won’t just let it go.”
