In Chapter Three of Life is Strange: Double Exposure, Max takes on a detective role to uncover the link between Safi and a former student from Caledon University named Maya Okada. According to Vinh, Lucas Colmenero holds the key to understanding what happened to Maya, so it’s time to pay a visit to our favorite self-important literature professor.
You’ll find Lucas in the Fine Arts Building, sitting in his office in the Living World. You can talk to him here, but his evasive responses won’t reveal much. When you switch to the Dead timeline, however, you can start uncovering the truth.
Investigation of Lucas’ Office in the Dead World
To access Lucas’ office, simply switch to the Dead World and open the door. Once you’re inside, it’s time to uncover his secrets.
The large golden typewriter might catch your attention, but you can’t interact with it just yet. Instead, check the bottom drawer of the filing cabinet near the entrance. Doing so will lead Max to collect several documents and lay them out on Lucas’ desk. These papers will confirm Maya was a student in Lucas’ class, regularly meeting him for writing mentorship.
The crucial detail to crack the case lies on Lucas’ desk. Examine the family photo positioned there. You may not realize at first that you can rotate the photo, but you can—so do it. You’ll find a key taped to the bottom.
During the pre-release phase, many players encountered a glitch in this section. While this issue may have been resolved by the time you play, if you’re experiencing audio cuts or notice the “Talk to Lucas” task reappearing after you’ve completed it, finding the key should help address these problems.
Take the key, but strangely, it doesn’t unlock any drawers in the room. It’s time to check out the golden typewriter again.
Open the typewriter, and you’ll uncover all the evidence you need. Just a heads up: you might not feel very fond of Lucas after this.
