Life is Strange: True Colors is a narrative-driven experience and the sequel to Life is Strange: Before the Storm. The game features many challenging puzzle-type scenarios and forces its protagonist, Alex Chen, to figure out the best way to approach a situation. Using her empathic abilities, Alex must solve a personal mystery in the seemingly idyllic Haven Springs, but there's also time for a few detours.
These detours are often key to the overall story. If Alex isn't interacting with various characters or gaining more information, she will eventually get into a complex scenario with an incomplete set of facts. The Black Lantern bar in Life is Strange: True Colors Chapter 1 has a lot of cool places to explore. A few retro arcade games can be played, and players can engage in a guessing game with potential love interest Steph.
Updated on May 9th, 2023 by Hodey Johns: As the game hits more platforms, such as the Nintendo Switch, gamers will be encountering this puzzle right away. Those who aren't familiar with the franchise or who haven't played the game before might be at a loss. Playing the right song for Steph opens up some dialogue that nobody wants to miss out on, especially in a narrative-driven game. However, some players also don't want to just be given the answer and would rather see how to figure it out for themselves. The first section is now a way for players to deduce the answer for themselves. To avoid spoilers, the answer is now in the second section. Don't worry, it's a mild spoiler at best and won't rob the player of the general experience.
Best Questions to Ask Steph for the Jukebox Game
The correct song for the jukebox game can be worked out if players ask the following questions and receive their respective answers:
- Band Name Question - Has a symbol?
- Song Title Question - Four words or more?
- Song Title Question - Curse word?
- Cover Art Question - People on the cover?
- Personal Question - Why do you like it?
This is one of the easiest games to get a Platinum trophy on. There is no timer counting down and no pressure. Deliver the best answer and don't rush it. Scroll through the songs and think about which ones make the most sense.
Do not continue scrolling if it's personally important to solve the Jukebox Song Puzzle individually.
Correct Song Choice
- "Kiss Up and Shut Me" by the F*ckadelics.
There is only one track that fits all of these requirements, so players can win the jukebox game with Steph by picking "Kiss Up and Shut Me" by the F*ckadelics. Steph drinks the shot and shares a small moment with Alex. It's not one of the biggest actions players can take in the game, but newcomers to the franchise can see how tiny interactions like this can affect their story sooner.
After playing the jukebox game, Alex can try to get the correct Duckie and Diane order to impress Jed, or clean up the area where Mac is sitting. Approaching Mac will trigger a scene where Alex will need to make a major decision. These small moments will likely play a bigger role when looking at the future of the Life is Strange franchise.
Life is Strange: True Colors is out now for Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
