Player 1 vs The World's StrangeCast is BACK, and it's time for us to talk about all things Life Is Strange! We have news to cover around Deck Nine, Don't Nod and Square Enix, so without further ado, let's unpack the topics in this podcast episode! Of course, Adnan and Adam kick things off with a conversation about the recently announced Life Is Strange: Heatwaves, a second novel from Square Enix and Titan. The StrangeCast hosts discuss author Brittney Morris' involvement on Heatwaves and what the novel could mean for the future of Alex Chen and Steph Gingrich. Don't Nod's puzzle platformer Jusant has finally climbed its way onto PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC, so Adam is here with his first thoughts on the new title from the French developer and publisher. Moving away from Don't Nod, Adnan and Adam turn their attention to Deck Nine and share their thoughts on Chrisjen Avasarala's outing in The Expanse: A Telltale Series' Archangel bonus episode. Finally, we close things out with our main topic segment, with Life Is Strange fan-favourite character Chloe Price placed under the spotlight for this particular conversation. For some people, Chloe is the best thing since sliced bread. For others, though, she's seen as a 'bad best friend' to Max Caulfield. So, where do Adnan and Adam stand on Chloe Price?

Player 1 vs The World's StrangeCast is back, and Adnan and Adam are talking all things Don't Nod Entertainment, Deck Nine, Square Enix, Life Is Strange and much more! Adnan and Adam kick things off by turning their attention towards Don't Nod Montreal after a social media post from studio executive producer Luc Baghadoust. Luc confirmed that veteran Life Is Strange VO director Philip Bache has linked up with him and Michel Koch for Montreal's unannounced title. Speaking of Michel, the Life Is Strange 1 and 2 co-director shared his thoughts on fan-favourite character Kate Marsh and what might have happened to her in the aftermath of one particular ending. We have even more Don't Nod news to cover, with the French developer revealing the second third-party title it is publishing: Koira. A hand-drawn musical adventure title, Koira is developed by Belgium-based developer Studio Tolima. The StrangeCast hosts close out our news segment by looking back on Life Is Strange 2 Episode 4: Faith on its fourth anniversary.

| 20 Dec 2023 | StrangeCast's 2024 Predictions For Don't Nod, Deck Nine And Life Is Strange 🔮👀 | StrangeCast Episode 60 | 01:31:08 | |
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.

| 28 Feb 2024 | Which Life Is Strange Game Has Best Music? 🎧💿 Plus, That LIS Ice Cream Looks Amazing! 🍦🤤 | StrangeCast Episode 65 | 01:36:55 | |
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!

Yup, there is only one topic on hand for this StrangeCast episode: Life Is Strange: Double Exposure.

Player 1 vs The World's StrangeCast, a fan-made Life Is Strange podcast focusing on all things Don't Nod, Deck Nine and Square Enix, is back with an all-new episode. Following on from our previous episode with former Square Enix designer Alejandro Arque Gallardo, Adnan and Adam switch their full focus to Life Is Strange: Before the Storm developer Deck Nine. The StrangeCast hosts offer their thoughts on news outlets covering a lead programmer role at Deck Nine, with the Life Is Strange: True Colors studio looking for someone to work on "an unnamed AAA single-player adventure" title. Has the next Life Is Strange entered production? Is Deck Nine once again at the helm of the franchise? Is the lead programmer role connected with a new Life Is Strange title? We talk about all of the aforementioned questions -- and much more -- in this episode of StrangeCast!

| 11 Dec 2024 | Life Is Strange: Double Exposure Director Is Laid Off From Deck Nine Amid Job Cuts 🤯👀 | StrangeCast Episode 88 | 00:47:45 | |
Hey, folks! We're bringing this impromptu episode of Player 1 vs The World's StrangeCast in the wake of the Deck Nine layoffs. Just a very important PSA: we recorded this episode on Saturday (7th December), so we are well aware even more layoffs have happened. We will be covering more of the layoffs, including Felice Kuan's departure, on the next full episode of StrangeCast, which will drop next week. Just keep in mind when we were recording while listening to this episode. Back on topic: Adnan and Adam shared their immediate reaction to the news that Life Is Strange: Double Exposure developer Deck Nine had announced its second round of layoffs in 2024. At the time of recording, the layoffs included Double Exposure director Jonathan Stauder. Adnan has since been covering the layoffs on social media and has found close to 20 confirmed ex-Deck Nine devs who have been laid off. What does this mean for the Life Is Strange franchise and Double Exposure's sequel? Can -- or will -- Deck Nine bounce back from this? Will Square Enix begin to pivot the direction of the series? The StrangeCast hosts discuss all of that and more on this special episode of the podcast. Timestamps: 00:00 -- Introduction 02:04 -- Adam clears up his Chloe Price comments from the main discussion of the last episode of Player 1 vs The World’s StrangeCast 05:16 -- Adnan and Adam react to the initial news of Deck Nine’s layoffs, including the developer’s statement and Double Exposure director Jonathan Stauder being axed from the studio 45:07 -- Outro StrangeCast is available on the following podcast services (among many others!) below. ⬇️ ▶️ Spotify for Podcasters: https://anchor.fm/player-1-vs-the-world 🟢 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4QoZ8jf0z0gUVgzAdv1UY6 🟣 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/strangecast/id1600336966 🟡 YouTube Music: https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLf2hEoOSWo46wMn665ZRMDMNkdrnOEwU 🔵 Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.co.uk/podcasts/5d22ad45-cd79-4897-ba7b-04b096366025/strangecast 🔴 RadioPublic: https://radiopublic.com/strangecast-6V4Pg9 🟠 Pocket Casts: https://pca.st/v0srxk6b New to StrangeCast?

Adnan and Adam return in a brand-new episode of Player 1 vs The World's StrangeCast podcast, with Life Is Strange: True Colors developer Deck Nine and Life Is Strange studio Don't Nod Entertainment dominating the news.

| 22 Jun 2022 | Should Deck Nine Break Life Is Strange 'Tradition' And Continue Alex Chen's Story? | StrangeCast Episode 18 | 01:21:22 | |
Following on from our special StrangeCast episode with Life Is Strange: Before the Storm star Kylie Brown, Player 1 vs The World's fan-made podcast shifts attention away from Rachel Amber and towards Life Is Strange: True Colors developer Deck Nine. Hosted by Player 1 vs The World chief Adnan Riaz and Adam Evalt, StrangeCast is a Life Is Strange-themed podcast made by fans for fans. For this instalment of StrangeCast, Adnan and Adam discuss Deck Nine's Twitter account responding to a fan request for more Life Is Strange content featuring Alex Chen and Steph Gingrich. Bouncing off our only news topic, our StrangeCast hosts explore the idea of Deck Nine breaking what Adnan calls the 'Life Is Strange tradition' by doing a direct sequel to Alex's story rather than creating an all-new story featuring a brand-new protagonist. Adam also made an executive -- and impromptu -- decision to introduce a new StrangeCast segment called 'Spread The Arts,' with the StrangeCast hosts suggesting one form of content they are consuming for listeners to check out.

| 22 Mar 2023 | Adam Reviews Adnan's Metacritic-Approved Scores For Don't Nod's Life Is Strange 1 And 2! 😅 | StrangeCast Episode 40 | 01:33:29 | |
Apologies for last week's delay for Player 1 vs The World's StrangeCast. As we mentioned on some of our social feeds and here on YouTube (if you haven't already, be sure to follow us on social media and subscribe to us on YouTube!), we scrapped our previous episode due to technical issues. But anyway, we are back, and the episode turned out how we wanted it to this time (thankfully!). So, without further ado, Adnan and Adam kick off this StrangeCast episode with our only news topic: the announcement that Deck Nine's Life Is Strange: True Colors and Don't Nod Entertainment's Life Is Strange 2 have both been added to the PlayStation Plus 'Extra and Premium' tiers for March. Our main topic for the episode focuses on Adam and Adnan looking back at the latter's time in the gaming industry, specifically when he wrote about Square Enix's Life Is Strange series. With that said, Adam offers his two cents on Adnan's Metacritic-approved reviews he wrote for Hardcore Gamer on Episode 3: Chaos Theory, Episode 4: Dark Room and Episode 5: Polarized, as well as the full season of 2015's Life Is Strange. The StrangeCast hosts also discuss Adnan's reviews for Episode 1: Roads, Episode 2: Rules, Episode 3: Wastelands and Episode 4: Faith, along with how he would have scored Episode 5: Wolves and Life Is Strange 2 as a whole had he reviewed them in 2019.

We've pushed back our Life Is Strange: Steph's Story review episode -- that's Adnan's fault, by the way -- so we've decided to visit a topic pitched by one of Player 1 vs The World's StrangeCast listeners, Jace! Jace asked us to rank every Life Is Strange: Before the Storm episode, including Farewell, and every Life Is Strange: True Colors chapter, including Wavelengths. We covered Before the Storm on our last podcast outing, so now it feels right for Adnan and Adam to turn their attention towards Deck Nine's True Colors! It's been pretty quiet on the news front when it comes to Square Enix, Don't Nod Entertainment, Deck Nine and Life Is Strange. So, with that said, there's no news segment for this episode. However, enjoy our feature-length main topic on True Colors -- and thanks again to Jace for the topic idea.

Player 1 vs The World's fan-made Life Is Strange podcast, StrangeCast, is back with the latest biweekly episode. Our StrangeCast hosts switch focus away from Deck Nine's Life Is Strange: True Colors and shift their attention towards Don't Nod Montreal, with the developers behind the critically acclaimed Life Is Strange teasing their unannounced narrative title. Hosted by Player 1 vs The World chief Adnan Riaz and Adam Evalt, StrangeCast is a Life Is Strange-themed podcast made by fans for fans. For this instalment of StrangeCast, Adnan and Adam once again revisit the Life Is Strange Remastered Collection and the duo discuss the latest round of patches announced by Square Enix. Following Adnan's live stream reaction for Don't Nod, formerly Dontnod Entertainment, announcing its rebrand, Adnan and Adam link up for an in-depth topic discussion on the French studio's spiffy new logo and the developer teasing its six unannounced titles in a clip on social media. Our main topic sees Adnan and Adam speculate and share their respective theories on what Don't Nod Montreal studio executive producer Luc Baghadoust and studio creative director Michel Koch are cooking up with their talented team of developers in Canada. 🇨🇦📼 StrangeCast is available on the following podcast services below. 👇 ▶️ Anchor: https://anchor.fm/player-1-vs-the-world 🟢 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4QoZ8jf0z0gUVgzAdv1UY6 🟣 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/strangecast/id1600336966 🟡 Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy83OTFhZjFlOC9wb2RjYXN0L3Jzcw ⚪ Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/show/strangecast 🔵 Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.co.uk/podcasts/5d22ad45-cd79-4897-ba7b-04b096366025/strangecast 🔴 RadioPublic: https://radiopublic.com/strangecast-6V4Pg9 🟠 Pocket Casts: https://pca.st/v0srxk6b Listen to the official theme of StrangeCast, composed and performed by our very own Adam Evalt, on Spotify now: https://open.spotify.com/artist/0eEm1yLSMrCmJ7gNYq0mXB New to StrangeCast?

| 11 Jun 2024 | Our First-Ever Live Stream After Life Is Strange: Double Exposure Announcement | StrangeCast Episode 73 | 01:56:44 | |
Hey, folks. Adnan here. Just uploading the live-stream edition of Player 1 vs The World's StrangeCast episode! We -- Adam and I -- did this episode immediately after Life Is Strange: Double Exposure was announced on Sunday. Life Is Strange: Double Exposure is the brand-new title in the franchise that debuted at the 2024 Xbox Games Showcase. Life Is Strange: True Colors developer Deck Nine is again at the helm of the new Life Is Strange, which sees the return of Hannah Telle as Max Caulfield! We wanted to thank everyone who took part in the live stream with us. It was incredible to interact with our audience in real time and we even had 57 people watching us at one point, which is wild for a small channel like this. The original live stream will stay on YouTube for anyone to watch, and a massive thank you to everyone who has watched it so far. It has crossed 1,000 views, which, again, is wild to see for such a small channel. Just an FYI: the video quality for this episode is a LOT better than the stream, but because we did a live stream, the audio quality is not the same as it normally is for our pre-recorded episodes. With all that said, I hope you enjoy watching this video (again or for the first time!). We appreciate you all! 🫶 StrangeCast can be accessed on the following podcast services (among many others!) below. 👇 ▶️ Spotify for Podcasters: https://anchor.fm/player-1-vs-the-world 🟢 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4QoZ8jf0z0gUVgzAdv1UY6 🟣 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/strangecast/id1600336966 🟡 Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy83OTFhZjFlOC9wb2RjYXN0L3Jzcw 🔵 Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.co.uk/podcasts/5d22ad45-cd79-4897-ba7b-04b096366025/strangecast 🔴 RadioPublic: https://radiopublic.com/strangecast-6V4Pg9 🟠 Pocket Casts: https://pca.st/v0srxk6b New to StrangeCast?

Player 1 vs The World's StrangeCast is back ahead of schedule for this VERY special episode.

| 31 May 2023 | Is Life Is Strange A 100 Greatest Games Of All Time Contender? Plus Deck Nine LAYOFFS! 😳😞 | StrangeCast Episode 45 | 01:38:49 | |
Adnan and Adam are back to talk all things Deck Nine, Don't Nod Entertainment, Square Enix and Life Is Strange in an all-new episode of Player 1 vs The World's StrangeCast podcast. We have a lot of news to cover in this episode, so we kick things off with the news that Deck Nine and Telltale Games have announced a release date for The Expanse: A Telltale Series. Additionally, Adnan and Adam have an in-depth chat about Deck Nine after the Life Is Strange: True Colors developer was hit with shock staff layoffs. The StrangeCast hosts turn their attention towards Don't Nod Montreal, with studio executive producer Luc Baghadoust revealing that the studio is continuing its recruitment on its unannounced project. Speaking of Don't Nod, the French publisher and developer announced 'Liva's Story' DLC for Gerda: A Flame in Winter, which was developed by Bird Island (formerly PortaPlay) in 2022. Finally, Adnan and Adam round off StrangeCast's news segment by celebrating the eight-year anniversary of Life Is Strange Episode 3: Chaos Theory. Our main topic is all about GQ's divisive list of the 100 best titles of all time, compiled by the 'experts' that were consulted for the piece. Life Is Strange, unfortunately, did not make the cut, but Adnan and Adam ask if the 2015 critically acclaimed episodic title should be considered a 100 best titles of all time contender.

Player 1 vs The World's StrangeCast is back with the first part of a two-part special. That’s right, we’ve made the executive decision to split this episode into two separate episodes.

| 13 Mar 2024 | Deck Nine Hit With Layoffs; Life Is Strange: BTS' Farewell DLC Turns Six Years Old! 🏴☠️🥹 | StrangeCast Episode 66 | 01:57:12 | |
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.
