The offer applies across all available formats (that's *deep breath* PS4, PS3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, Mac and PC) and begins tomorrow, July 21.“Although our team set out to create an award-winning narrative we still cannot believe the response we’ve had from players of Life is Strange” said CEO of developer Dontnod, Oskar Guilbert in a statement. “We’re really glad that Square Enix have decided to give the first episode away for free so more players can begin their journey and see why people have fallen in love with the game for themselves”.While we had our problems with Chrysalis , it spoke to the potential of a series that went on to gain more than a cult following, garnering over 1 million downloads , and winning BAFTA and Peabody awards in the process.
