When I came across a photo of Steph and Mikey playing D&D, along with a note from Mikey that reads: "Thought you might like a reminder of how far we've come", I'm once again drawn to reflect back on my time with the series. I never quite expected to think about how my actions would come into play all these years later, in the fourth entry in the series, but Wavelengths really pushed me to think about everything Steph, and by extension me, has been through in the lead up to this DLC. Even though she's on the fringes of the first story and we only see her for a short time in Before the Storm, she's understandably affected by the decision you made, and on a very personal level is still trying to overcome it. As a resident of Arcadia Bay who knew Chloe and Rachel, Steph wasn't directly involved in Max's story or the eventual outcome for the town. Having only ever experienced these events as Max in the original game, there's something so powerful about seeing things from Steph's perspective. Immediately, these questions establish that the ending of the first game will in some way affect Steph's episode when she first moves to Haven Springs. If you answer 'Yes', you're then asked about the final choice you made relating to the fate of Arcadia Bay.

It's a prompt asking you to confirm whether or not you've played Life is Strange Season 1. While Wavelengths did end up feeling like a proper farewell, I didn't expect it to make me think back on my time with previous Life is Strange games in so much depth.Ī question pops up on screen at the beginning of Wavelengths that quickly brings a swell of emotions to the surface. I couldn't shake the feeling that this bonus episode was officially bringing my time with True Colors to an end – throughout the years, each Life is Strange game has claimed a corner of my heart, and I tend to have a hard time letting go. I had to emotionally prepare myself before diving into the Life is Strange: True Colors Wavelengths DLC. Life is Strange: True Colors Wavelengths - "It really kind of felt like a no-brainer to give Steph the DLC"
