True Colors — Steam Gift (Deluxe)

Life is Strange: True Colors — Steam Gift (Deluxe Edition)

Life is Strange: True Colors is the third major entry in the beloved interactive-story series, this time developed by Deck Nine. You play as Alex Chen, a young woman who sees other people's emotions as vivid colored auras and can absorb them. Arriving in the cozy mountain town of Haven Springs to reunite with her brother Gabe, Alex faces a tragedy and starts unraveling a mystery that runs through the whole community. There's no waiting between episodes here — the full story releases at once, and every choice genuinely shapes relationships and the ending. With us you get it as a Steam Gift: a bot hands you the game instead of giving you a code.

What you get

You're buying a Steam Gift of the Deluxe Edition. It's not a key to activate somewhere — it's a gift: after payment our bot reaches out, sends the game to you as a Steam gift, and all you do is hit «Accept». The game stays in your library forever, just like a normal purchase. No subscriptions, no third-party launchers — everything lives inside Steam.

What's inside the Deluxe Edition

• The full game Life is Strange: True Colors — every chapter of the main story.
• 'Wavelengths' bonus story — a standalone chapter starring Steph Gingrich in the year before Alex arrived. Steph hosts a radio show on KRCT inside the Rocky Mountain Record Traders store: you pick playlist tracks, ad-lib through local commercials, give advice to callers, and help write an original song. A warm, music-filled and very personal story across four seasons.
• Hero Outfit Pack — 4 outfits for Alex referencing past series protagonists: Chloe's 'Misfit Skull', Sean's 'Wolf Squad', Daniel's 'Space Mission', and Max's 'Jane Doe'. One outfit can be worn in each chapter of the main game.

Empathy instead of rewinding time

Where Max rewound time in the original Life is Strange, Alex has a different power — empathy. She sees strong feelings as color: golden joy, purple fear, red anger, blue sadness. To move the story forward you read people's emotions, absorb them, and decide how to use that insight. It turns True Colors into a deeply human drama about acceptance, loss, and finding your place.

How the gift arrives on Steam

It's simple and code-free. After payment our bot gets in touch: it adds you as a friend on Steam (or you add it via a link), and then sends True Colors Deluxe to you as a gift. All you need to do is accept the incoming gift — there are no separate requests to confirm and no codes to enter. Steam Guard isn't required to accept the gift. Once it's delivered the bot removes itself from your friends, and the game — together with the bonus story and outfit pack — stays in your library. One important note: a gift can only be accepted if you don't already own this game, and your Steam account region must match the gift's region. The whole hand-off usually takes a couple of minutes.

Performance and platforms

On PC the game runs through Steam, supports controllers, and is rated Playable on Steam Deck. There's no native Linux build, but it runs via the Proton compatibility layer. System requirements are modest by modern standards — this is first and foremost a narrative adventure, not a graphics benchmark.

True Colors is a great fit for fans of the earlier games and similar narrative titles.

Haven Springs — a town you won't want to leave

One of True Colors' biggest strengths is its setting. Haven Springs is crafted with love: a bar, a flower shop, an open-air cinema, a record store, and mountains all around. You can talk to locals at length, learn their stories, and gradually feel like part of the community. The game never rushes you — it cares more about you living these days alongside Alex than racing to the ending. There are series-signature moments too: a tabletop RPG session with friends, musical breaks, and heart-to-heart conversations.

How long it is and whether it's replayable

The main story runs roughly 8–11 hours depending on how thoroughly you explore the town and talk to its residents. The 'Wavelengths' bonus adds a few more hours. Choices affect relationships and the ending, so many players replay to see different branches and use Alex's power another way. With the Hero Outfit Pack you can change Alex's look chapter by chapter — a nice touch for a second run.
