The Connection Between "Life Is Strange" and a Real Missing Person Case
A tragic real-life case may have been reflected in the game "Life Is Strange." The similarities between the fictional missing poster of Rachel Amber and the actual missing poster of Sunday Blombergh, who disappeared in 2010, are striking. Both women share hazel eyes, a wrist tattoo of a star, and even the same physical features such as height and additional tattoos.
The disappearance of Rachel Amber in the game also falls on April 22, just like Sunday Blombergh. It seems that the developers at Dontnod Entertainment were inspired by this real tragedy. But what impact does this have on the family of the missing woman?
Family discovers similarities between missing person poster and game
In a TikTok video, Blombergh's daughter Isabella explained that she believes "Life Is Strange" has taken the design of her mother's missing person poster. The family was shocked when they discovered the parallels in the game. However, they were never asked for permission to use Blombergh's likeness in the game.
Some family members see positives in the portrayal
Although it is difficult for some members of the family to see these similarities, Blombergh's nephew Skylur finds it beautiful that his aunt was immortalized in a way through the game. Despite the tragedy of her story, this could be a way to remember Sunday Blombergh and honor her life.
