I used to be able to tell you what a Don’t Nod game was. Back whenLife is Strange 2was coming out in 2018 and 2019, the French developer seemed easy enough to pin down. That game’s episodic release model made the comparisons easy: Don’t Nod was picking up the mantle fromTelltale Games, who had picked up the mantle from LucasArts when point-and-clicks stopped being mainstream fare. These were narrative adventure games that took the prestige TV model and applied it to video game storytelling, parceling out 10-hour long narratives in meaty episodic packages....
