Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

Life is Strange: True Colors is a narrative adventure featuring Alex Chen, a young woman with an astonishing supernatural power, through which she can experience the strong emotions of others. While Alex’s power will lead to moments of great Joy, it also brings her into the orbit of violent Anger, world-altering Sadness, and irrepressible Fear. As she probes the mysteries of Haven Springs, revealing its secrets, Alex will discover moments of quiet transcendence – but also be drawn into moments of sudden, bloody violence - with lasting consequences. The game also features strong language, drug reference, some suggestive themes, and the use of alcohol.
