In the past, Dontnod has addressed the benefits of episodic releases. Most notably, such experiences allow the developer to adjust course based on player feedback if necessary. The same rings true for Life is Strange 2, and Dontnod took advantage of this particular practice very early in the sequel?s release cycle. Apparently, Life is Strange 2?s Lyla only returns after the first episode because fans enjoyed her so much.
In an interview with Gamereactor, Lead Writer Jean-Luc Cano made note of this. He told the publication, ??what I like in episodic structure is that it allows us to make some quick adjustments between episodes, even if the main story is written from the beginning.? As previously mentioned, some of these adjustments come courtesy of feedback and player choice. Lyla serves as one example for Life is Strange 2. According to Jean-Luc Cano,

PB.gptStandAlone = PB.gptStandAlone || {};
PB.gptAutoRefresh = PB.gptAutoRefresh || {'gptAds':[], 'gptStandAlone':[]};
