Player 1 vs The World's new episode of StrangeCast is here. Well, let's talk Don't Nod Entertainment, Deck Nine, Square Enix and Life Is Strange. (You can probably tell by the tone of the introduction where we're headin' here...) For this episode of StrangeCast, we kick things off with a discussion about Don't Nod and the French-based developer and publisher's future, including seven titles in the works from the company. Our other news includes an update on Jusant winning at the 2024 Pegasus and Zoe Thorogood's Life Is Strange: Forget-Me-Not #2 officially dropping. Of course, our main topic is none other than the story that has rocked the Life Is Strange franchise to the core. Adnan and Adam candidly talk about the allegations hitting developer Deck Nine and publisher Square Enix's London-based division. From the Zak Garriss allegations to crunch culture allegations to a new Life Is Strange title being confirmed in the works, the StrangeCast hosts break down as much info as they can from IGN's in-depth investigation.

Player 1 vs The World's StrangeCast is back for our first episode of March, with Adnan and Adam (who is 'being held against his will') talking all things Don't Nod Entertainment, Deck Nine and, of course, Square Enix’s Life Is Strange franchise. For this episode of StrangeCast, Adnan and Adam celebrate the sixth anniversary of Life Is Strange: Before the Storm’s much-beloved Farewell DLC episode. The StrangeCast hosts also turn their attention to Jusant, which won Best Sound Design at the 2024 Pegasus. Additionally, Jusant received a nomination for New Intellectual Property at the BAFTA Games Awards. Adnan and Adam also sit down to discuss the French union SJTV and its allegations against Don’t Nod over staff welfare, with the Life Is Strange developer also responding to the claims made. Speaking of Don’t Nod, we also flag that Benoit Gisbert Mora has stepped down from his role as deputy general manager at the French-based developer and publisher. Finally, our main topic is none other than the sad news that Life Is Strange: True Colors studio Deck Nine has been forced to lay off some of its staff amid a brutal period for developers in the gaming industry.

An all-new episode of Player 1 vs The World's StrangeCast is here! In our final episode of February 2024, we talk about all things Life Is Strange, Don't Nod, Deck Nine and Square Enix. Just an FYI: we recorded this episode before the news of Deck Nine's layoffs! We'll cover that news in the next episode, but our hearts are with the people who were laid off. 🫶 For this episode of StrangeCast, we kick things off with a discussion about a sweet (pun very much intended) collaboration involving Square Enix and California-based tsun scoops around Life Is Strange. We also received surprise updates for the iOS versions of Life Is Strange and Life Is Strange: Before the Storm, so Adnan and Adam talked about what was outlined in the patch notes (courtesy of the Life Is Strange subreddit!). Our last piece of news is that Don't Nod's Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden is finally here, with the StrangeCast hosts delving into the review scores for the Focus Entertainment-published title. For our main topic, we have an in-depth discussion about the music in the Life Is Strange franchise. Which Life Is Strange title has the best music? Which soundtracks come out on top for Adnan and Adam? Let's talk about the works of Jonathan Morelli (Syd Matters), Daughter and Angus & Julia Stone on the Life Is Strange series!

Here it is, Player 1 vs The World's final StrangeCast episode of 2023! Adnan and Adam sit down for the end-of-year podcast episode to talk all things Don't Nod, Deck Nine, Square Enix and Life Is Strange. Episode 60 of StrangeCast was pre-recorded in late November, so Adnan and Adam decided to do a feature-long episode on their 2024 predictions around Don't Nod, Deck Nine and Life Is Strange. Of course, the StrangeCast hosts weren't right on everything, especially after Don't Nod Montreal finally announced Lost Records: Bloom & Rage at the The Game Awards. 😅 As we recorded this episode well in advance, Lost Records: Bloom & Rage's reveal is not covered on StrangeCast's final episode of 2023. Fear not, though, as we will be talking about Bloom & Rage a LOT on the first episode of StrangeCast in 2024. However, be sure to visit Player 1 vs The World's YouTube channel to watch Adnan's first thoughts on Bloom & Rage in a reaction video, as well as his second attempt at figuring out the identity of each character in Don't Nod Montreal's upcoming narrative adventure title.

Welcome back for an all-new episode of Player 1 vs The World's Life Is Strange fan-made podcast StrangeCast is back with a very special interview, featuring none other than Rachel Amber herself, Kylie Brown! Unfortunately, Adam wasn't available for this episode, so Adnan is flying solo for this edition of StrangeCast. But Adnan was thrilled to sit down once again with Life Is Strange: Before the Storm star Kylie. Kylie tweeted out in August asking fans what their favourite Rachel scene is, so Adnan wanted to find out from the Before the Storm actor what 'help' she needed from the Life Is Strange fandom. Adnan also chats with Kylie about some of her favourite Rachel scenes, as well as her thoughts on AI in the industry and whether she considers herself as Gen Z, a millennial or a 'zillennial.' Kylie also shares an update on her life, including where she is up to in the world of acting and her current work as a personal trainer.
