Last month, Deck Nine announced Life is Strange: True Colors - the next major release in the beloved adventure games series - and gave us a little insight into its protagonist, Alex Chen, and her special power: empathy. Now, ahead of the Life is Strange: True Colors release date, we got a chance to speak to senior staff writer Felice Kuan and Alex's actor Erika Mori about how the upcoming PC game will once again bring together relatable, very human people and experiences with paranormal twists through Alex's story - and how her empathy will be core to this.
"That duality of the elements of the human condition and the supernatural elements is part of the LiS secret sauce," Erika Mori tells us. "It’s brilliant that Alex’s power is basically a trait that most of us possess – empathy – but on steroids because I think it allows the power itself to be relatable by players in a way that previous powers weren’t.
"I think many of us can remember a time when we’ve helped a friend or loved one shoulder strong emotions, but Alex's experience of this is dialled up to 11. It can overtake her if she isn’t careful, changing everything inside and around her."
