Life is Strange True Colors All Endings

Each chapter holds a decision that will impact the ending you get. These decisions mostly start from Chapter 3 we’re you’ll be presented with contrasting options that will change how someone feels about you.

Chapter 3

Charlotte's Anger

Near the ending of Chapter 3, you’ll get the choice of taking away Charlotte’s anger from her or just leaving her alone. The choice has some lasting impact on what happens later on.

If you decide to take Charlotte’s anger away, the strong emotion will stick with Alex. She lash out at Ryan and Steph when they enter the apartment. Because of this, Alex will be left alone to look for the USB without anyone’s help. This is actually the bad decision, because Charlotte will be left feeling numb from your empath powers and she later won’t stand up for you when you need her in Chapter 5.

If you decide to leave Charlotte alone, you can either apologize to her or give her assurance on your way out. This will result in Alex being calm enough to work with Ryan and Steph as they look for the USB. This is by far the best decision as Charlotte will stand up for Alex in Chapter 5 during the town council meeting. Charlotte will actually apologize to you later on.
