Description

An official spin-off to Life is Strange: True Colors featuring beloved characters Alex and Steph trapped in a small town's climate disaster. Alex's powers are tested against a dying hope for a sustainable future. Alex and Steph have left Haven Springs in the rear-view mirror to travel the country, chasing the horizon. Though they don't have much money, they have their guitar and drums and each other. But when their vehicle breaks down, they are stranded, their only hope a repair shop in a struggling town in the middle of nowhere.

The town is dealing with a severe drought after an extended heatwave wreaked havoc on local crops, plunging its inhabitants into poverty and water rationing. What remains of its essential resources are being diverted to indulge the local senator, gathering support for their out-of-touch political campaign. Feeling the anger and despair of the town's inhabitants, Alex and Steph are compelled to do everything they can to help. But when Alex uses her powers to amplify the senator's fear of the climate crisis, in the hope of galvanising their support, her plan backfires, and emotions spiral wildly out of control. Alex and Steph now need to find a way to revive the hope of a failing town and resurrect its history of political action to save the townsfolk and themselves.
