Evaluation

Life is Strange – Episode 1 is the first chapter of the original five-episode series, which fully completed its run in 2015. The store page now offers Episode 1 for free as an introduction to the series. The only DLC associated with this app — a Director's Commentary pack — was released on January 19, 2016, rounding out all content tied to this listing. No further content for Episode 1 itself has been announced or released since then. The developer's news posts on this app's Steam page are primarily promotional material for later entries in the franchise (Life is Strange: Before the Storm, Life is Strange 2, Life is Strange: True Colors, and Life is Strange: Double Exposure). These are separate products and do not represent planned additions to Episode 1's content. The original Life is Strange series — of which this episode is the entry point — has been complete for years, with the franchise continuing through entirely new standalone titles.
