Though the "your choices matter" narrative-driven adventure game genre is old hat at this point, I still think this one is a worth a playthrough. The mystery itself is engaging enough but shortlived; where True Colors really shines is in its character interactions. Alex is a delightful character to be in the shoes of - both fantastically written and performed. It's also worth a shout out to the facial animation in this game which looks really good and adds a layer of dynamism to the character interactions.

Though there aren't a huge number of environments and the game is pretty short, it's clear the game was put together with a lot of care and attention to detail. Wandering the environments never feels like a chore as there's always lots of little nuggets to find. Also worth noting is the wonderful LGBTQ representation on display in the game, it's really nice to see queer people just existing in the world that the devs have built. Definitely worth the few hours a playthrough takes.
