The final decision point in Life Is Strange is certainly a conundrum. The way it is articulated is much closer to what Saruman presents to Haladdin in The Last Ringbearer than the moment of weakness in The Lord of the Rings but the game is clearly more connected to the latter while missing both the originating quest to destroy the Power and the final moment of ultra-rational, involuntary eucatastrophe present in either. So I decided to see if drawing some parallels could help come to an answer.
