How ‘Life is Strange’ defied expectations with a sequel

The Original Plan: One-And-Done Game

In an exclusive interview with GamesRadar, Michel Koch, the director of Life is Strange, reveals that the original design for the Life is Strange ‘universe’ was intended to be a simple one-and-done game. Square Enix, the publisher of the 2015 episode title, initially planned for only one standalone game, with no expectations of a follow-up unless the first game exceeded expectations.
