Trivia
Second appearance of Steph Gingrich, who was introduced in Life is Strange: Before the Storm (2017) and became a fan-favourite. Katy Bentz not only reprised her part, she also played the character in "Wavelengths", a bonus chapter of the game that was specifically written for her.

Goofs
The mine incident that supposedly took the life of Alex's father took place twelve years prior to the main game. Alex is 21 in the main game putting her at around 9 when her father died, however flashbacks indicate that he was still alive and present in her live up until she was 11, two years after he supposedly died.

Quotes
Steph Gingrich: [to Diane] Are you single? Semi-single? Taken? But still down to get drunk and make out?

A series healed

Life is Strange: True Colors Image The story is engaging, if a bit basic, but the characters and their interactions with the protagonist, Alex, keep True Colors interesting from start to finish.

The game always tackles its themes of emotional trauma and healing tastefully, without beating the player over the head with them.

Its characters are well written and likeable, the soundtrack is good, the voice acting is consistently on point and it is genuinely beautiful to look at.

Deck Nine picked the best elements from the series's previous instalments and used them to create one of the most interesting and refined adventure games on the market. It's a game that knows what it wants to be, knows what it wants to say, and does so exquisitely.
