A colorful explosion of emotions
Jonathan Zimmerman, director of Deck Nine, offered up some never-before-seen details about the materialization of Alex Chen's power, Empathy, and how it works.
Typically, this allows Alex to discern the emotions of those around him since these take the form of colored auras. Thus, each emotion has its own color: blue for sadness, purple for fear, red for anger and, finally, gold for joy.
This feature is a way for Alex to better understand the people she meets. However, this power is not without danger for the heroine who, confronted with an overly powerful emotion, sees her psychic integrity threatened.
Emotionally charged auras give rise to novas capable of transporting Alex to a world that takes the form of another's psyche. As a result, a person consumed by his fear or his sadness will materialize with his nova a world either jerky, dark and filled with fears and monsters, or a world with a heavy and greyish atmosphere, like a rainy day.
Scheduled for September 10, Life is Strange: True Colors intends to push the series' traditional narrative conventions to give players a unique emotional experience on PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One , PC and Switch.
