Hella badass duo Max Caulfield and Chloe Price are going to hang out in your pocket soon, with the release of Life is Strange on iOS and Android.

Coming Dec. 14, the first episode of the choice-based narrative game, developed by Dontnod Entertainment and Deck Nine Games and published by Square Enix, will be available in iOS, with Android releases planned for early 2018.

All five episodes of the original Life is Strange game will be released, with each setting you back $2.99, and the whole series will eventually available as a pack. Dontnod Entertainment announced the release with a trailer on Twitter:

Life is Strange is currently available for pre-order on iTunes and will support iPhone 6, iPad 5, iPad Air 2, and iPad Mini 3, along with newer devices, of course.

Pretty soon you'll be misting up on public transport, wandering around as 18-year-old photography student Max Caulfield, playing Angus and Julia Stone in your dorm room, dealing with teenage bullies, making friends, casually manipulating time and unpacking one of the most moving mysteries you're likely to find in an episodic graphic narrative adventure game.

Though it's just about to release its third and final episode, prequel Life is Strange: Before the Storm hasn't been announced for mobile just yet.
