Life is Strange: True Colors Gameplay

Looking at the game’s first look, there are a lot of things that you will notice. The introduction of Alex Chen as the new character who is on her way to her brother’s house and has a good life and a job. But unfortunately, she loses her brother in a tragic yet mysterious incident. Her goal is to find out and discover the mystery behind his death and who is responsible for it. Alex Chen has a special power. She can manipulate and absorb the emotions of everyone around her. Now that she’s at her brother’s town she has to uncover all the secrets and mysteries of the town. She has to use her power of Empathy to change lives and the fate that’s expected to come.

Looking back at the previous Life Is Strange games, there seems to be a different change in the protagonist’s powers. The first game had the power of rewinding time followed by arguing, telekinetic powers, and now empathy. If you’ve noticed, in each Life is Strange game there’s always someone dead. All the main games had someone die due to some weird strange and mysterious manner. The game has a major step up in terms of graphics and animations. True Colors will be the first in the Life Is Strange series which will feature a free roam mode that will let you explore Haven Springs.
