Life is Strange: True Colors departs from the time-bending and telekinetic powers of its predecessors to explore a more internal, emotional mechanic: ability to experience and manipulate the "auras" of others. Set in the idyllic but secretive town of Haven Springs, Colorado, the game serves as a profound meditation on the weight of empathy, the trauma of the foster care system, and the search for "home."

Haven Springs is depicted as a corporate-owned utopia, maintained by the Typhon Mining company.
