Life is Strange: True Colors shows the power of Alex?s empathy in new E3 showing

These moments impact True Colors in ways big and small.For people experiencing even stronger emotions — illustrated with a brighter, more vibrant aura — Alex can almost inhabit their brain through a mechanic called “Nova.” Producer Rebeccah Bassell told Polygon that these are “bespoke” moments that transform Alex’s reality. “Alex’s power serves as an incredible vehicle to get into that, and we try to explore it from every angle imaginable,” Deck Nine writer Jonathan Zimmerman said.Zimmerman said the core tenets of the Life is Strange franchise — typically, these are narrative games with character-driven stories — remain in True Colors. The choice to focus on older characters was deliberate, Deck Nine said, and in the course of her story, Alex will be coping with things that are relatable to people closer to her age.The setting, in the small town of Haven Springs, makes the game stand on its own, separate from the other titles.
