One ends with Alex ghosting a boy who starts to expect sex from her after a few hookups, another ends because Alex seemingly “freaked out.” By looking at her phone, players can see that even the few social relationships she’s managed to grow during her time in the system didn’t pan out. A large part of her life was spent in the foster care system, which I don’t know about first-hand, but am all too familiar with due to a close friend’s experiences. Life is Strange: True Colors puts players in the shoes of Alex Chen, a woman who’s seemingly been through it all. Even with staggered story pacing and sometimes off-putting dialogue, the game managed to connect to me in a way not many have before.
It’s almost impossible to complete Life is Strange: True Colors without relating to either Alex or one of her friends. That message comes to life through the game’s wonderful cast of characters, each with their own experiences and trauma. It’s about embracing those imperfections, tackling them head-on, and in some cases fighting to make sure life is what it should be. However, the story it tells isn’t simply about coping with daily life. Life is Strange: True Colors centers around that notion - that we are all, in our own unique way, broken or wrong.
