Ryan will be reeling from all this information and is in a tough spot. Perhaps most crucially, in Chapter 5 “Side B,” Alex will have revealed that Ryan’s father Jed is behind all of the horrible events in the town, from Gabe’s death to the death of the miners years ago. It isn’t entirely necessary to choose him over Steph, though it does give you some breathing room. Later, meet him on the roof of your building and kiss him. In chapter four, give Ryan the rose at the festival. That will make Alex boil over and lash out in a fit of anger that causes her friends to leave. Later that chapter, remember to make sure you don’t take Charlotte’s pain from her. This puts a lot of faith in his charms and him as a person in a crucial moment. In chapter three, pick Ryan as the one to distract Diane. After doing so, you’ll want to give him a hug to show appreciation for him listening to you. Later in that chapter, Alex will reveal to Ryan that she has powers. It is the first public test of the narrative that will be in contention later and it is important you stand beside Ryan at this moment. In chapter two, you’ll want to back up Ryan’s assertion that you heard Gabe make the call to stop the detonation. It is a tough choice, but a necessary one. This will negatively impact Alex’s state of mind and hurt her other relationships as well as undercut the chance of getting Charlotte’s support later.

It is tempting to have Alex choose to take some of her pain away, but do not do this. Lastly, in Chapter 3 “Monster Or Mortal,” Charlotte will be at her lowest point. You can then go back to his mother and tell her what is on his mind, showing that you can be trusted after initially not telling her where her son was going.

However, if you did not, you will need to track down Ethan by the water and read his emotions. Later in that chapter, if you did reveal where Ethan was going, you can skip talking to him about what he is feeling. It is a lot of money that could benefit Ethan and shows Charlotte the care Alex has for her son. You will need to give her the advice to take the settlement from Typhon. Next, in Chapter 2 “Lanterns,” Alex will need to talk with Charlotte at her dispensary. You should tell Gabe about this as it will show Charlotte that you care about Ethan and don’t want to see him get hurt. In the aforementioned first chapter, Alex will be given the choice to reveal that Ethan is planning to go into the abandoned mine. Don’t worry about Steph, the most wholesome character of both this game and the prior prequel game Life Is Strange: Before The Storm, who will have your back no matter what. It sounds easy enough, but requires interacting with characters in just the right way to ensure they feel they can count on you.

You will need to earn their trust in order to convince them of the deceit of one their own. The main part of the game that has the most variability is not really about solving the mystery, but about winning over the people you meet. It will be up to you to figure out who has the most to hide while forming a bond with this new community. Alex must then figure out what happened in the suspicious accident that caused his death while interacting with the people of the town who all seem to have their own secrets they want to keep. She must heal from the sudden loss of her brother Gabe, whom she hadn’t seen for eight years and was just getting the chance to reconnect with. Unfortunately, she won’t get long to enjoy her fresh start as tragedy soon strikes. The game’s similarly new protagonist Alex Chen (voiced by an excellent Erika Mori) has traveled to the community in order to start over.

As some background, True Colors is set in the new location of Haven Springs, Colorado.
