InLife is Strange: True Colors, players take on the role of Alex Chen, portrayed by Erika Mori, as she moves to Haven Springs to reconnect with her brother Gabe after having spent eight years apart. Like otherLife is Strangegames, things go off the rails pretty quick, as Gabe dies in a supposed “accident” and Alex is forced to use her special supernatural abilities to solve the mystery behind her brother’s death.
