The only place you won’t be able to findÂLife is Strange 2episode one is on the App Store. Despite the originalÂLife is Strangebeing available on IOS and Android phones, developer Dontnod hasn’t said anything regarding a port.

This happens to a lot of episodic, story-based games to give players the chance to try them out before committing to buying the season pass.Telltale Games uses a similar strategy for many of their first episodes. The officialÂLife is StrangeÂTwitter accountconfirmed that the $0 price tag forÂLife is Strange 2:episode one is not a limited time deal, but “permanently free — forever.”

Dontnod recently released another episodic game,Tell Me Whywhich might sound familiar if you watchedthe Xbox Games Showcase back in July.ÂTell Me Whyis three episodes long and, as of September 10, have all been released. Check outour review of it right here.

Additionally, Dontnod is getting ready to releaseTwin Mirrorin December of this year.ÂTwin MirrorÂisn’t episodically told likeÂLife is StrangeorÂTell Me Whybut has similar point and click gameplay.
