Life is Strange: Double Exposure is filled with choices, and one of them that you’ll encounter in Chapter 3 is one that involves the heart. You’ve got two choices when it comes to romance, or maybe you don’t need to make the choice at all.
If you’ve checked out Double Exposure’s achievements, then you’ll likely have noticed that there are four that revolve around matters of the heart:
- A Nice Girl Who Runs a Bar (Romance Amanda)
- Only Eyes for the Bad Boy (Romance Vinh)
- It’s Complicated (Romance both Amanda and Vinh)
- Romantically Disentangled (Romance neither Amanda or Vinh)
If you’re wanting to get one or more of these achievements, you’ll need to know how to romance both of Max’s possible love interests. If you want to get the final achievement, this guide will also help you learn how to avoid getting wrapped up in the heat of the moment.
It’s worth noting that romancing both Amanda and Vinh will prevent you from unlocking either of their individual achievements, so you’ll need to play through the chapter at least four times in order to get all four achievements.
Both of these romances can be embarked upon during the third section of Chapter 3, so if you want to go back in via the Chapter Select menu, click “Spin” and then “Nobody Wants to Drink Alone”. The best part? You can get both of them done without ever leaving the Snapping Turtle.
How to romance Vinh in Life is Strange: Double Exposure
Once you’ve gained control of Max inside the Snapping Turtle, head to the portal and use the Pulse ability to shift over to the Dead World. When you get there you’ll find Vinh propping up the bar with a bottle of what appears to be Whiskey.
Interact with Vinh and then speak to him, and Max will join him at the bar. You’ll have a few dialogue options to choose from before things become a little heated, and you end up playing a game of “Smash or Pass” with the faculty of Caledon.
You can be as honest as you like here and let your true feelings come out about the characters you’ve met along the way so far, but eventually Vinh will ask how you feel about him. If you want to romance Vinh, when he asks whether you’d smash or pass on him, select “Kiss Vinh” to begin a whirlwind romance with Caledon’s resident bad boy.
How to romance Amanda in Life is Strange: Double Exposure
Whether you choose to go down this road before or after you’ve locked lips with Vinh, you’ll need to make sure that you’re in the Living World if you want to romance Amanda. While there, talk to her at the bar and you’ll embark upon a cute, if a little bizarre, make-believe date.
Eventually, once the date is over and things get a little more serious, Amanda will guide Max to the comfy sofas near the fireplace for a very open and honest heart-to-heart. During this conversation, you’ll be given the choice as to whether you want to kiss Amanda or not. Which one you choose is up to you, but it should be obvious that if you want to pursue this romance, you’ll need to kiss her.
With that done, Amanda will get back to work and you’re free to continue with the rest of Chapter 3.
