Life is Strange: True Colors is a story-based adventure from developer Deck Nine all about making choices. Some have minor consequences, but others can have a significant impact on Alex Chen's story.

Alex learns while helping Eleanor in Chapter 2 of Life is Strange: True Colors that Eleanor is developing a problem with her memory. Alex is given multiple opportunities to tell Riley about Eleanor, but should she? This is one of the bigger choices in the game, so players should be aware of all the consequences.

What Happens if Alex Tells Riley About Eleanor?

There are two occasions that Alex can tell Riley about Eleanor in Life is Strange: True Colors; at the Flower Shop during the LARP in Chapter 3 and at the bus stop during the Spring Festival in Chapter 4. Telling her on either occasion has the same consequences, although there are slight dialogue changes between Alex, Riley, and Eleanor if Riley finds out earlier than Chapter 4.

Telling Riley about Eleanor will always stop her from leaving for college, resulting in Alex losing Eleanor's trust. Whether or not this is the right moral decision to make, telling Riley is actually a wrong choice if players want to get the best possible ending in Life is Strange: True Colors.

During a key scene in Chapter 5, Alex asks for the support of multiple Haven Springs residents. Eleanor is amongst them, and if Alex has told Riley about her condition, she will not stand with Alex. Her support isn't essential, but it is necessary if players want to end the game in good standing with Eleanor, and have her feature positively in the end scene. This is why telling Riley or not is one of the most important decisions in Life is Strange: True Colors.

Life is Strange: True Colors doesn't really have a bad ending, but not having characters on Alex's side, meaning they don't appear in the end scene, isn't really a happy ending either. So to secure Eleanor's vote of confidence, players also must decide to tell her about Gabe in Chapter 2. Sparing her from the pain will result in Eleanor missing the lantern send-off, alerting Riley to her memory issues.

Life is Strange: True Colors is out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and will release later for Switch.
