Life Is Strange: True Colors is a 2021 narrative adventure game and the fourth main entry in the Life Is Strange series. It is the second Life Is Strange game developed by Deck Nine, with the first being 2017's Life Is Strange: Before the Storm. Square Enix returns as the publisher.It's April 2019, and Alex Chen (Erika Mori) has recently exited the foster care system and moved to the small town of Haven Springs, Colorado, to reunite with her older brother Gabe (Han Soto) after an eight-year separation. Seeing the move as a chance to start over, she and Gabe have a heartfelt if awkward reunion and Alex is introduced to the rest of the town and welcomed with open arms.Sadly, Alex and Gabe's time together is cut short when Gabe dies that very night in a demolition accident, and the mysterious circumstances surrounding it soon come to light. Complicating Alex's new life is her psychic ability to sense, understand, and immerse herself in the emotions of other people. Doing so has the inherent risk of her losing control over herself, made all the more likely when surrounded by people going through the stages of grief for their lost friend.Joined by two of Gabe's best friends - local DJ Steph Gingrich (Katy Bentz) and park ranger Ryan Lucan (Eric Emery) - Alex works to unravel the mystery behind Gabe's suspicious death and learns to find her place within Haven Springs. She'll make new friends and enemies alike, and the choices in front of her will determine the future of not just herself, but the town she's begun to call home.Life Is Strange: True Colors was released globally on the Xbox One, Xbox Series X, PS4, PS5, Google Stadia, and Windows via Steam on September 10th, 2021, and for the first time in the history of the series, the game was released in its entirety without a waiting period. A bonus episode in the deluxe edition, titled Wavelengths, follows Steph's own early days in Haven Springs. A Nintendo Switch version was released later in the year on December 7, 2021.See the full debut presentation here.

Unexpected Gameplay Change
 Life Is Strange: True Colors (Video Game) / int_1467a30c
comment
Unexpected Gameplay Change: Chapter 3 gives us the LARP where the entire section plays like an RPG, with Ethan and Alex being party members who battle monsters. Becomes doubly so when Alex hooks into Ethan's emotions just before the boss battle with the main villain of the LARP. The entire scene changes to Ethan's imagination of a fantasy world and the UI even changes to an RPG battle screen.

Does This Remind You of Anything?
 Life Is Strange: True Colors (Video Game) / int_14ed6ab7
comment
Does This Remind You of Anything?: Steph is completely alone on-screen throughout Wavelengths (at least until the brief epilogue scene), communicating with other characters via Zoom, phone calls, and mail. While in-story it's simply the case that she happens to be on her own during the periods of time shown on-screen, it resonates with the fact that the game was released 18 months into the COVID-19 pandemic. Most players — but especially people like Steph, who were single and living far away from family — could identify with her rattling around in an otherwise empty building and seemingly never leaving. Taken to even more meta heights when you learn that sections where Steph left the record store and interacted with other Haven Springs residents were reportedly cut due to production constraints caused by the pandemic.

Multiple Endings
 Life Is Strange: True Colors (Video Game) / int_1aa08f77
comment
Multiple Endings: There are two major options for the ending, with variations depending on Alex's romantic interest and her relationships with the other townsfolk. Stay in Haven Springs. This ending will see Alex settling down and living the life she fought so hard for with either Steph, Ryan, or neither as her romantic partner. Depending on the relationships with other characters, it will also see her hanging out with them as she grows accustomed to not worrying about the future. Leave Haven. This ending will see Alex leaving Haven Springs with her romantic partner, or on her own. The game ends with a cutscene of her getting ready to play in front of a crowd at a club, with photos on her guitar case showing her and her partner taking advantage of living life on the road.

comment
Abandoned Mine: The old Haven Springs mining tunnels play a significant role in the story. At the end of chapter 1, it's where Alex, Gabe, and Ryan search for Ethan, and at the beginning of chapter 5, after Alex falls down into the collapsed mine where several workers died due to Jed's actions.

Ambiguous Situation
 Life Is Strange: True Colors (Video Game) / int_1f6983f7
comment
Ambiguous Situation: Steph will reminisce fondly about Rachel but will only show distress over her murder if the "Sacrifice Chloe" ending was chosen in Season One. This makes it unclear whether Chloe and Max ever brought Rachel's murder to light after the "Sacrifice Arcadia Bay" ending, or if she's still considered a missing person in this continuity.note Life Is Strange 2 had previously hinted that Jefferson was still prosecuted for his crimes after the storm — at the very least the abduction of Victoria and probably the murder of Nathan — but it's highly likely that Rachel's body would never be found after the storm destroyed the town even if Max and Chloe came forward, which they may not have done.

A House Divided

comment
A House Divided: At the midpoint of chapter 5, the council meeting can be split after Alex reveals Jed and Diane's deception. Based on previous choices, some, none, or all of the members will stand with Alex and Steph, who sides with Alex no matter what. Based on player stats, this trope is played straight as the overwhelming majority were able to get only some members to their side.

Raised by Grandparents
 Life Is Strange: True Colors (Video Game) / int_27af99f1
comment
Eleanor Lethe's age is also a little bit off, though not impossibly so. Official materials give her age as 54 and her granddaughter Riley's as 20, making her only 34 years old when Riley was born. It's possible that Eleanor and her child were both teen parents (the latter might even go some way to explaining Riley being Raised by Grandparents), but it's a tight timeline nonetheless. It becomes very weird though when coupled with Eleanor's Alzheimer's — an uncommon (though of course not unheard-of) diagnosis in under-65s. Basically, Eleanor seems to have been given an arbitrary age a good decade younger than how she was written, for no apparent reason.

Hollywood New England: When Steph asks Alex where she should go when she leaves town, one of the available options is Salem, Massachusetts. Alex will then joke that Steph would blend in well with the "Massholes" that live there (if she doesn't join a coven, that is).

Pun-Based Title: Alex's power allows her to see colored auras around people, representing their currently felt emotional states — their true colors, in a sense. In addition, chapters 1 and 5 are named "Side A" and "Side B" respectfully, as for A-side and B-side that Phonograph records sometimes have.

Bittersweet Ending
 Life Is Strange: True Colors (Video Game) / int_40cc0c7e
comment
Bittersweet Ending: Surprisingly, sweeter than more bitter compared to Deck Nine's last entry in the franchise. By the end of chapter 5, Alex finds out about Jed's betrayal and successfully exposes Typhon's shady practices. However, as many characters point out, Gabe is still dead and the town is likely more splintered than ever thanks to how much has been uncovered. Jed, one of the town's most friendly inhabitants, is revealed to have left his employees to die in the mine during a tunnel collapse. Alex can also potentially leave Haven Springs to focus on her music with either Steph or Ryan, or she can stay and potentially build a life there with either of her love interests. The duality of the endings are even lampshaded by a vision of Gabe, who makes it clear that both paths could lead to happiness and adventure.

Break the Cutie
 Life Is Strange: True Colors (Video Game) / int_4b316d47
comment
Break the Cutie: Alex gets hit with this hard when she witnesses Gabe getting crushed to death in a rockslide ignited by a mining operation. And then there's also her getting shot by one of her trusted friends and falling down a mineshaft nearly to her death. By the time she's able to limp to the Black Lantern, she's covered in dried blood, scratches and bruises. Hell, this happens before the events of the game. Chapter 5 shows how strenuous home life was after the death of Alex's mother. Alex herself tried to keep things together but it only resulted in her father leaving and then dying in a mine collapse, Gabe getting sent to juvenile detention, and Alex getting ground through the foster system until her early 20s. During this time in foster care, as the player can see in her messages, she tried and failed to develop a network of close friends, and some even spouted racist vitriol at her. The same applies to Ethan, who even blames himself Gabe's death as his sneaking out led to them searching for him, and in turn, Gabe's death. While he doesn't get it as hard as Alex, Ryan also gets put through the wringer. First, his best friend dies in a horrific accident, leaving him wracked with guilt and self-loathing over not being able to save him. When Alex comforts him at the ravine where it happened, Ryan will break down crying in her arms. And much later, the knife gets twisted further when he learns that one of the people responsible for his best friend's death was his own father, and that he also directly tried to murder Alex. It's even worse if your choices result in Ryan not taking Alex's side immediately, which can potentially ruin his friendships with Alex and Steph. In the routes where Alex romances Steph or Alex tells Ryan she can't forgive him, Ryan ends the game standing on a cliffside overlooking Haven Springs, visibly upset at what he'd done.

Cutting Off the Branches: A minor example. Wavelengths treats Chloe and Rachel as a known romantic couple in Steph's memories, with no option for the player to feedback on whether they actually played them that way in Before the Storm. Justified in that a romantic relationship between the two is implied to have happened between the prequel and the original game regardless of your choices; this is just the first time it's been outright stated in canon.

The poster was quickly informed that it was actually a mountain lion cub that should absolutely not be interacted with. The poster then sheepishly asked what one should do if it "happened" to be on their bed.

The Reveal: Chapter 4 shows that Jed and Diane both know what happened to Gabe and why it happened. Chapter 5 also reveals that John Chen, Alex and Gabe's dad, was one of Jed's old employees who died in the Haven tunnels when Jed left him and a group of miners to drown.

Meaningful Name
 Life Is Strange: True Colors (Video Game) / int_6bda9a30
comment
Meaningful Name: Alex Chen perceives people's emotions as different colors depending on the emotion, hence the subtitle "True Colors". This power helps her find out the reason behind her brother's death. The name Lucan has the Italian meaning of light. Ryan Lucan is the first person who displays an aura of joy that Alex can see. In other words, a light in the sea of anger, sadness, and fear that Alex is used to. Typhon was one of the worst monsters from Classical Mythology. Zeus lost the first fight he had with it. A company having that name says bad things about the company. In Greek mythology, Lethe is the personification of oblivion, and the dead in the underworld were forced to drink from the waters of the River Lethe to make them forget their mortal lives. Eleanor Lethe, owner of Lethe Flowers in Haven Springs, is revealed to have been diagnosed with Alzheimer's. The Black Lantern. As in, a lantern that produces darkness instead of light. How fitting that the owner should be an antagonist to someone who experiences emotions as colored lights.

comment
Guide Dang It!: Getting everyone to side with Alex during her confrontation with Jed is not likely to happen on your first playthrough without a good dose of luck. Getting Ryan's support in particular requires a very specific combination of choices across multiple episodes.note Don't take Charlotte's anger in Chapter 3, do take Pike's fear in Chapter 4, and also have the support of at least three out of the four total determinant characters.

Offscreen Breakup
 Life Is Strange: True Colors (Video Game) / int_6fc530a4
comment
Offscreen Breakup: Steph's parents George and Lita appeared to still be together in Before the Stormnote Judged by the fact that they send Mikey or Drew a get-well card in the hospital signed by both of them, but Wavelengths reveals that they divorced sometime between then and the first game, with George moving to Seattle while Lita stayed in Arcadia Bay. The upshot is that in the "Sacrifice Arcadia Bay" arc, Steph's mother died in the storm but her dad survived. It's worth noting that this is slightly contradicted in the novel Life is Strange: Steph's Story, which has George and Lita's break-up taking place when Steph is around 12 years old. (The book hints that they remained Amicable Exes, which is presumably why they were still sending joint greetings cards years later, if indeed this isn't simply a Continuity Snarl.) Thanks to the episode's frequent use of Time Skips, it's possible to have Steph in a new relationship at the end of a section only to discover that she and the latest girlfriend have broken up in the intervening months.

Closet Key: If Alex chooses Steph to hit on Diane so that she can use the distraction to steal the USB drive with the evidence of Typhon's wrongdoing, Diane will act genuinely shocked by Steph's flirting, mainly because of how much she is open to it, even asking Alex if she is blushing. Alex tells Steph afterward that she revealed something in Diane she might not have been aware of. Notably Averted with Steph and Alex's relationship: unlike past protagonists Max, Chloe, and Sean — all of whom are implied to experience their first major same-sex crush during the course of the story they star in — there's no question that Alex was aware of her bisexuality well before she met Steph, as her text history suggests past relationships with both men and women before she arrived in Haven Springs.

Slice of Life: True to other games in the series, most of the game time is spent doing mundane things: doing your job, socializing, running errands, and participating in various events such as LARP and the Spring Festival. There are even optional tasks such as cleaning up your room or weeding the plants on the rooftop that gets tracked by the game. Wavelengths takes it up to eleven: the whole DLC is literally about Steph running the radio station/record shop.

Steph is left momentarily speechless before getting back into character and insisting on a proper trade. Though the proposal itself is improv on Alex's part, she'll wink at Steph as she's leaving to make it clear her feelings are genuine.

Breather Episode
 Life Is Strange: True Colors (Video Game) / int_80a247a9
comment
Breather Episode: Occurs in both chapters 3 & 4. The LARP session is a quick break from the plot to help cheer up Ethan, who feels primarily at fault for Gabe's death. The spring festival also qualifies as it allows for Alex to relax, potentially buy a rose for a love interest, perform in front of an enthusiastic crowd, and then go on to kiss said love interest. And then Deputy Pike arrives to place Alex under arrest for stealing Diane's USB drive. True Colors itself also serves as one for the franchise as a whole. Before the Storm and Life Is Strange 2 were each considered darker than the entry that preceded them, making True Colors appear much Lighter and Softer by comparison. Notably, after Gabe's death in chapter one there are zero possible character deaths for the rest of the game, and all of the endings are positive outcomes for Alex to varying degrees. Even when True Colors deals with some of the heavier topics from earlier games, like serious injury or sexual assault, it's with a much lighter touch than its predecessors, with fewer on-screen depictionsnote Alex's text history implies that she has been sexually assaulted in the past, but it's nowhere near as integral to the plot as the assaults that fuel the mystery in the Arcadia Bay arc and less lingering on long-term consequencesnote Alex's injuries in chapter five appear severe at first, but are ultimately far less serious than the permanently life-changing harm suffered by Sean in season two.

A Day in the Limelight: The bonus episode puts the player in Steph's shoes as she manages Haven Springs' local record store and runs the radio station in the year before Alex arrives.

Foreshadowing
 Life Is Strange: True Colors (Video Game) / int_9d12bbc1
comment
Foreshadowing: Jed Lucan is initially presented as an ally who is then revealed to be a villain in the town-wide LARP, which foreshadows his true nature by the end of chapter 4. Him reacting negatively to Steph telling Alex the story of how he saved his co-workers sets up how he, in fact, left a large amount of them in the mines to die. It also sets up his self-hatred, which Alex can call him out on in their confrontation. Additionally, in the Typhon files on Diane's flashdrive, his vote is listed as "secured," which makes sense since they basically own him. Furthermore, Jed's appearance and circumstances resemble the depiction of a bearded miner running from ghosts on the Mine Haunt arcade cabinet in Gabe/Alex's apartment. Ryan taking the role of a snake during the LARP also sets up his possible betrayal of Alex in chapter 5, depending on previous choices. However, given the fact he does come around regardless, this is a more downplayed example. Alex taking on the role of a bard sets up one of the possible endings where she leaves Haven Springs to focus on her musical career. Alex accidentally hitting Gabe during a fight with Mac and his startled reaction sets up the later reveal that their dad had accidentally hit her in a similar context, which was what led to him abandoning them out of guilt. The ghosts in the mine haunt game cabinet foreshadow that Jed didn't save everyone in the mine.

Continuity Nod: When using her power, Alex strikes the same arm-extended pose as Max and Daniel did before her. A "Firewalk" poster can be seen in the record store, which is the band Chloe went to see at the beginning of Before the Storm. You can also catch a glimpse of the tabletop miniature model Steph used in her D&D game with Chloe and Mikey, sitting on a shelf behind her counter at the record store. Wavelengths reveals that Mikey posted a box full of their old D&D stuff, including the miniatures, to Steph after she moved to Haven Springs. Steph saying, "You think it's that easy to get rid of me?" in her intro trailer is reminiscent of what Rachel said in the hospital at the end of Before the Storm ("You're not getting rid of me that easy."). Alex's Gilligan Cut during the Spring Festival is reminiscent of Chloe's during Before the Storm.

Accomplice by Inaction: Applies to Diane and Mac mostly. They were both aware of the mining operation going ahead with people in the area, and were both willing to cover it up. Mac is a downplayed example, however, in that he displays a lot of guilt for it and eventually comes clean.

comment
Gut Punch: A pretty heavy one in chapter 5 where depending on your choices, Ryan can be turned against Alex by his father, who tried to kill her. Doubly so considering that he was one of the first people Alex told her secret to. If the player chooses to not forgive him or romances Steph, it's possible that he suffers from a huge Heroic BSoD on the roof of the Black Lantern.

My God, What Have I Done?: Jed suffers from this big time if Alex chooses to forgive him, eventually leading to his arrest and Typhon getting booted from Haven. John Chen is nothing short of horrified with himself after he accidentally elbows Alex to the ground during a fight in the past with Gabe. So much so that he leaves immediately and allows Gabe and Alex to be collected by the CPS. Ryan is implied to be left with this feeling if he doesn't believe Alex at the council meeting and she doesn't forgive him afterward. In such endings, he's last seen on a cliffside overlooking Haven Springs, visibly devastated at having lost Alex and (presumably) Steph because of his actions.

Mood Whiplash
 Life Is Strange: True Colors (Video Game) / int_a4c37cbe
comment
Mood Whiplash: When Alex and Gabe arrive at the apartment, they soon begin rocking out to Kings of Leons together as they had as kids. Then Mac shows up to confront Gabe about his suspicions that he was involved with Riley, resulting in Mac assaulting Gabe and Alex losing control (a result of feeling Mac's intense anger) and beating Mac up, leading her to accidentally punch Gabe when he tries to break them up. The LARP being held for Ethan starts out well, with Ethan especially having a great time. Then the Typhon blast siren goes off, reminding Ethan of Gabe's death... Alex can have a very touching scene with Steph or Ryan on the roof of the Black Lantern where they can talk about their future and potentially solidify a romantic relationship. The possible ensuing Big Damn Kiss cements the heartwarming moment. And then when Alex heads back downstairs, she's arrested by Deputy Pike for stealing Diane's USB.

Aura Vision: Alex sees the emotions of others as an aura around them (or their head). She sees an extremely diverse aura around Jed during their final confrontation, showing how much fear, hate, and sorrow he has for his own actions that led to the deaths of his miners over eleven years ago. She's even able to see in pitch darkness due to her aura vision which comes in handy near the end of the game

Abusive Parents: John Chen regularly fights with Gabe and neglects his work duties. He eventually abandons the two to be picked up by CPS. However, it should be noted that John is extremely torn up due to his wife's death, and he refuses to bring Alex into any of his quarrels with Gabe. The above-mentioned abandoning was done after he accidentally hit Alex and was ashamed of what he did.

While he doesn't get it as hard as Alex, Ryan also gets put through the wringer. First, his best friend dies in a horrific accident, leaving him wracked with guilt and self-loathing over not being able to save him. When Alex comforts him at the ravine where it happened, Ryan will break down crying in her arms. And much later, the knife gets twisted further when he learns that one of the people responsible for his best friend's death was his own father, and that he also directly tried to murder Alex. It's even worse if your choices result in Ryan not taking Alex's side immediately, which can potentially ruin his friendships with Alex and Steph. In the routes where Alex romances Steph or Alex tells Ryan she can't forgive him, Ryan ends the game standing on a cliffside overlooking Haven Springs, visibly upset at what he'd done.

Shout-Out: Upon learning of Typhon's DIONE project, Alex quips about the evil company picking supervillain names for their sinister plots — a reference to both Greek mythology and "Dione" being Thanos' intended name. Alex mentions having rewatched A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) with the others. The action figures on the shelf in the record store: one resembles Deadpool, and the other is wearing a rebel flight suit. The robot toy in the apartment resembles a Transformer.

Video Game Caring Potential: Alex can do things around town such as offer advice to a new restaurant owner, encourage two friends to become a couple, help a birdwatcher win a contest, lift an insecure jogger's self-esteem, help a heartbroken dog owner (who she can help again later on by helping him with a jellybean guessing game), and assist a girl studying by playing a song she likes. She can also offer a free drink to Duckie during the LARP when he's behind the bar. The next chapter can see her going out of her way to cheer him up during the Spring Festival.

comment
Lighter and Softer: While still dealing with a lot of heavy topics and featuring quite possibly the darkest protagonist backstory in the series, the game comes nowhere near Life Is Strange 2 in terms of depressing and gritty subject matter portrayed within the game itself. Notably, both of the endings are portrayed as overall positive outcomes for Alex, a stark difference to the three previous games in the series, all of which were criticized for presenting endings that were extremely bittersweet at best and unremittingly dark at worst.

What the Hell, Hero?: If your choices result in Ryan refusing to believe Alex at the council meeting, Steph will furiously lambaste him for distrusting Alex after everything they'd been through together. Alex can give a truly resonant one to Jed at the council meeting, calling him out for accepting Typhon's bribes and allowing them to cover up Gabe's death. She can even condemn him for his actions, after which he breaks down into tears.

Writers Cannot Do Math
 Life Is Strange: True Colors (Video Game) / int_da1c8191
comment
Writers Cannot Do Math: Twelve years ago, Alex and Gabe's father died in a mining accident. However, he didn't leave the family until Alex was 11 years old, and she's 21 years old during the events of the game. He left two years after dying...?? Potentially somewhat explained by the evidence suggesting that the current year in-story was changed from 2020 to 2019 at some point during development. (See 20 Minutes into the Past, above.) It still doesn't really make total sense but it just might be possible to squeeze all the key events into the timeline that way, since Gabe clarifies that their dad left when he was "nearly fifteen" and Gabe himself dies at aged twenty-six, potentially closing the gap to a little over eleven years rather than twelve-plus (presumably Alex is just close to her twenty-second birthday when the game takes placenote Supplementary materials reveal her birthday to be in July, a couple of months after the events of the game, so this does indeed kind of work.). However, elsewhere in the game, it's implied that John was Wandering the Earth for at least a couple of years before reaching Haven Springs, whereas this explanation would require him to beeline directly there with unerring foresight; so even this solution doesn't really cover all the facts. Eleanor Lethe's age is also a little bit off, though not impossibly so. Official materials give her age as 54 and her granddaughter Riley's as 20, making her only 34 years old when Riley was born. It's possible that Eleanor and her child were both teen parents (the latter might even go some way to explaining Riley being Raised by Grandparents), but it's a tight timeline nonetheless. It becomes very weird though when coupled with Eleanor's Alzheimer's — an uncommon (though of course not unheard-of) diagnosis in under-65s. Basically, Eleanor seems to have been given an arbitrary age a good decade younger than how she was written, for no apparent reason. The game is set in the spring of 2019. Jed rescued the miners on December 30th, 2008. However, when talking about it to Alex at the end of Chapter 4, he says "12 years ago, I made a mistake" referring to the fact that it was HIS fault they needed rescuing in the first place, and many of his team didn't make it out alive. A time-related example; When Alex and Gabe leave the record store, Gabe says his shift "starts in 20" and Ryan is left manning the radio station after Steph is called away. After the fight at the Black Lantern, Gabe says he has to go start his shift. Upon going downstairs however, it seems that Steph and Ryan have been sitting at the same table for some time before Ryan had to take Gabe away for first aid.

comment
Contrived Coincidence: By the end of the game, the player will have learned that Alex's father came to the secluded Haven Springs to start a new life years before Gabe did exactly the same. Downplayed in that Gabe did initially come to Haven Springs looking for their father, but his apparently random decision to stay even after the lead went cold and eventually make a life in the town where, unbeknownst to him, his father's death was covered up does still play into this trope.

Art Evolution: The hand-painted style of the previous games is far more subdued in this entry, allowing for cleaner and more realistic graphics and character designs. It's also the first game in the series to use motion capture for facial expressionsnote The remastered version of Life Is Strange quickly followed the trend, but not Before the Storm, and at least some key set-pieces (such as the scene with Gabe, Ryan, Alex, and Ethan at the ravine in chapter one) were also fully mo-capped.

Alternatively, she can use her power to take away Deputy Pike's fear of Typhon which gives him the courage to immediately release Alex from custody and continue the investigation of Typhon misdeeds.
