Quick Links
It may be a story-rich game that relies on decision making as its main gameplay mechanic, but there are still plenty of hidden collectibles to find inLife is Strange: True Colors. These Memories are scattered about each chapter.
As Alex has empathic abilities inLife is Strange: True Colors, these random items actually offer her a glimpse into their owner’s feelings. There are 5 to collect in Chapter 1, but don’t worry if some were missed. Any chapter can be repeated from the main menu to search for Memories and missable Trophies/Achievements, without affecting previous player choices.
