Steph's Actor plays Life is Strange: True Colors - Chapter 2 - First Playthrough

[@Ladco77]

8:49 "It's not your job to keep it together." First time playing, I broke down when Steph said this. I didn't realize how much I needed to hear this from someone. Anyone. I can't put into words how meaningful that was to me in that moment.

[@ASLLover666]

for real. i fought the tears hard that first time but i didn't succeed

[@Sundae_Cone]

43:17 Steph confuses her own VA 😂 Steph: "Loser says what?" Katy: "What??"

[@YoshiPotter88]

I was just saying that! That is absolutely hilarious that she doesn't even remember what she said during that line, to be Honest this whole thing is just Amazing I would love to see some Behind The Scenes now after what she said! 🤣😂

[@juleroocktyeah]

LMAO I CANT 😂

[@dje6719]

I don't know how you can watch this without wanting to 😢 it hurts like hell when I watched this game the first time

[@SunniestAutumn]

Every playtgrough turns into a romance-Steph playthrough.

[@TherealRNOwwfpooh]

Well, there's the also the fact that when you do the LARP in order to help Ethan (and Alex, Steph, Charlotte, Duckie, and others who needed some downtime), to get the Sapphire jewel from Steph (in witchy garb), the only options are to buy it in exchange for: 3. Free (Since the Sapphire, Ruby, and Amethyst jewels are expensive within the context of the LARP story, this wouldn't happen), 2. 4 Gold (I wouldn't advise this, as that's what's needed to either bribe the troll or buy the troll dust to reform the troll into being helpful, which allows you to avoid having to fight the troll altogether) and 1. For the bard's (in reality, Alex's) hand in marriage, both in-character as the bard (regardless of the name she picked for her LARP character) AND out-of-character as Alex towards Steph (which Steph says, "I do" too [shown when her aura shifts from nervous/scared to happy]).

[@Ladco77]

Gabe's wake at the Black Lantern really hit me where I live. My best friend (who also happened to be a bartender) and I had an agreement that whichever one of us died first, it was the other's responsibility to bring the booze to the wake. As fate would have it, he died first and rather than bring booze to his wake, I held his wake at the bar we hung out at. The call went out and his friends gathered - we took over about 2/3'rd of the bar and restaurant's space - and we spent the night drinking and laughing and telling stories about him. We drank the bar out of Rumplemintz, too. Taz, I miss you, Brother.

[@littlesparrow9826]

Sorry for your loss, hope you're okay x

[@dje6719]

So sorry for your loss

[@Ladco77]

Thank you. It's been years and while I'll always miss him, it's a well healed wound. It was a glorious celebration of his life.

[@tracey0820]

I think the reason I love Steph’s voice so much is because it sounds so emotional. If I could marry a voice, it’d be hers. Like at 3:07 it feels like you really can FEEL her

[@Kira-zy2ro]

So true. Its why voice actors are a separate class. When you have to do all the emotions without being visible and make people _feel_ it... Its a real talent.

[@francis85]

Alex: "Wish I could have seen it." Steph: "Yeah." Crazy how much emotion can be put into a single word.

[@NotUrAverageWerther]

When I watch you play and you reach your parts/dialogue it's like watching a Director's cut (where you're the director over your own lines/acting) and I LOVE it

[@claire5434]

Eleanor's last name is 'Lethe. In Greek mythology, the Lethe was one of the five rivers of the underworld of Hades. Lethe was also the name of the Greek spirit of forgetfulness and oblivion

[@tetelele2752]

I know I'm a little bit late but thank you very much for the video

[@emanymton713]

Never apologize for your giddiness or nervousness etc. I ,for one, just appreciate the passion for your craft.

[@karamakowski7607]

Lol the bald dude is all of us on the darn automated phone lines

[@Jib223]

I'm glad they picked you for steph, couldn't see anyone else voice your character.

[@joshuastrittmatter4188]

Coming back to this I watch a second time. The facial expressions, the body language and the voice acting are absolutely amazing. These characters feel totally real. They feel *human.*

[@435now]

To be fair when Ryan cut the rope Gabe was probably already dead from that rock hitting him.

[@powderboarder3285]

This play through is amazing. It is like watching the director's cut of "The Fellowship of the Ring" with all of actor inputting fun tidbits about acting and things that occurred through the development process.

[@DaveLH]

I never registered before that when Alex is inside Eleanor's "emotion-scape" (for lack of a better term) the phone in the office is a rotary phone, but then when she helps E recover her memory of the call, it turns back into a modern wireless phone. Nice touch. I must say, having had a parent succumb to dementia, I found this scene a very poignant insight to how it must feel for someone who has it.

[@mikewaters2126]

God, that Diane reveal at the end is so well executed

[@qridoesntcare]

Honestly you crushed it in this game Katy

[@napstablook3935]

steph is everything

[@jasonhorrocks4368]

Stephs got a crush

[@Nightworldlove_]

It is SUCH an experience to watch you play, so glad I got to be there

[@sleekoduck]

Fascinating getting all the inside information on what goes into making all those videogame scenes! Thanks for the LP!

[@iamkuroiyuki]

Currently watching your gameplay after finishing mine, and i cant lie romancing Ryan makes sense, but damn first playthru its Steph all the way and nothing could change my mind, also congrats on skipping the minigames i know it must have been tough after the first chapter xD

[@2jackdolan]

Life Is Steph! Can’t wait to see Chapter 3

[@Mylandah]

I'm so glad I found this! This is amazing! I just finished the game myself and I love it! Thank you for your excellent performance :D I'm pretty sure most of us are romancing Steph HARD! I have the stats to prove it!

[@Joe-ij6jt]

This game is soo well made. The voice actors did amazing and showed a lot more emotion in there voices then before. The visuals are amazing. Ugh I can't wait for wavelengths, it's gonna be amazing. Because more steph. 😊😊😊

[@TheTrienco]

When you just finished binging the game, YT randomly starts playing this while you're doing something else and think "funny, she sounds a bit like Steph in the game, I wonder if she realizes that".. and finally look at the screen and go "oh, yeah, I guess she does". Great job. Chloe got some serious competition as favorite character.

[@misao1993]

🤣🤣🤣

[@brisket4848]

So glad you are posting these. I have been working nights and missing the streams

[@lauz2486]

7:41 Alex thinking… boys 🙄. I must ask, these two spend the whole game fighting?, So immature...This is the sensitive chapter, right?, It was such an intense chapter!. Full of emotions on everyone's part,... nd Alex helping everyone with their sadness when it was her brother who just died, and it is sad that everyone spent time with Gabe and has memories with him but Alex only had a one-day reunion!. I like all the LIS but this power that Alex has is more... human, it is more accessible to ordinary people, we just have to be a little more sensitive and human observers to have a bit of this superpower. I definitely love Alex, she is super nice, cute and I hope she has the happy ending she deserves with a lot of love around her and someone who supports and loves her cough* Steph (loving her too) cough*, that moment there of intense flirting (very obvious) was phenomenal hehe (Team AlexSteph 100% no fake). You've done such an amazing job playing it, everyone has done a phenomenal job.

[@Galphanore]

The freakin wake at the start of this episode broke me.

[@gamerk1058]

This is so surreal yet cool the same time. Love the game and Steph is now my fav LIS character that's not a main.... yet . Keep being awesome and hope you return for future games : Team AlexXSteph

[@dje6719]

I lost a friend to Alcoholism a few months ago and we had a wake in his Honor It was really sad but it was so good to be there for his family

[@user-dp4hs9iq8u]

So awesome to see Katy Bentz herself and Steph at the same time 😊

[@МихаилМельник-н8й]

Such a beautiful game

[@misao1993]

I think that's the first time I've ever seen someone getting so hyped over Poles 🤣 Count me in, I'm your 7th one! :P

[@EzraSnow]

No dislikes, as it should be, you did so fucking good Katy! Shoutout to the whole team, y’all fucking killed it ♥️♥️♥️

[@N7AslansHobbit_Ry]

1:14:25 ohhh I wanna hear Alex sing that song at the end of that entry.

[@ABirdOnTheMoon]

You are the only person who thought of it as I did .. I thought .. she is alone by herself .. what if she had to be reminded in front of others and seeing how she is stressed about it .. I can imagine not knowing it .. will lead her to more down the line. Knowing it now, she can actually find ways to work on it .. because in a way we are telling her it is getting serious, Eleanor.

[@namankashyap8524]

45:00 Uuuueeuuoooooooooo Awawawwawaawa Awdiwdiwdiwdiwdi😂😂😂

I just finished the game i loved you character so much

[@amberfranke496]

Great acting as Steph

[@alex.n9279]

Great video Katie ❤ I love you so much 😍

[@CraziBastid]

The guy at 2:07:16 is my favorite LiS character, PERIOD!

here for Steph

[@craigyphelan]

Hi love playing this game and can't wait to play stephs story

[@kathleenreynolds7113]

Loved this game just beat it twice . Your character was amazing.

[@prmarsh]

I heard you mention that you wished you hadn't reminded Eleanor about Gabe, but if you hadn't she would not have had your back during the vote in Chapter Five.

[@phantomwheeler81]

Absolutely awesome Katy

[@communicatieman]

0% doesn't mean 0 people. But good video again :) fav streamer

[@kociad]

i love watching your playthrough

[@logandeeter6151]

3:05:00 it's hard to imagine this scene without the t pose

[@communicatieman]

Spoiler if Steph is the main character in Life is Strange 4 then her superpower will be Katy

[@emanymton713]

It’s cute, the conflict of should Alex win football or Steph because there is conflicting dialogue and you don’t know which you want to hear more ;)

[@eskrest]

This game is amazing, however for whatever reason I can't get over the first LiS game. I don't know, if it's Ashly Burch's incredible acting, or Hannah Telle's absolute cuteness, or the writing, or the music, etc. It's just too good, and any other LiS game can't beat it so far.

[@playernumberuno]

Ryan is alright, I like him as a character, but I just can't see him with Alex, I see them more as bros, the only one for me is Steph ♥️

[@chloefrazer2956]

You made steph win the football game but great playthrough.

[@stuartkeylock4199]

Love your stream so much I will follow you on twitch How is this year gone for you Hope for the best in 2022 as well I love to see more vlogs streams from you. How are things with your family friends I would love to see you at Supernova too

[@FuwaNekoNya]

Eleanor is the sweetest grandma ever ( ; -;)

[@bimm7930]

Steph looks like a young tobin heath

[@tiamatmichellehart6821]

Werespiders sound pretty badass!

[@Kira-zy2ro]

Tell the Izzie voice actor she is awesome. I dont know if she's actually trans, but she sounds great, as a trans woman myself i am pretty jealous. I'm also like 50 pages into writing a fanfic about Izzie after she leaves Haven springs... and somehow it also incoporates the story of her transition, up until the moment she meets Steph. Like i just started writing about that, lol. It is an eternal shame they didnt have Izzie on screen in any of the games. I wrote a fanfic where she shows up at the end of TC, to normalize relations with Steph before Steph leaves Haven Springs with Alex. Its literally one tof the only things that could have made TC better. They could have easily made the endings like: if Alex & Steph leave or stay in haven together, Izzie just visits and rekindles a friendship, If Alex chose Ryan, Izzie comes and Steph leaves with her.... or another ending which i did in my fanfic but wont spoil ^^ It would also have been awesome to have Wavelengths start with the conversation between Izzie and Steph that the button lets you hear. Wavelengths was pretty awesome but it should have been a full game, like where we see where Steph lives, her developing friendhips with people in town, maybe see the people she dates through the app..

[@alonsoguttierrez4455]

Yes!!!

hey Katy! i have a question - how does it feel to play and hear Steph speaking with your voice? :) i was always wondering

with the foseball game, I won the first and let steph win the second but the I took the last since she’s so competitive

[@skyteus]

Yes!

[@Ffourteen]

The game audio seems low on this episode.

[@xiblingbling]

Why is the volume so low 😩😩

[@DaveLH]

Hector is my favorite minor character, and I feel a bit indignant that the game never refers to him by name -- He's always "Hoodie Guy" or "Bean Counter Guy," or whatever...

[@Toddy2009]

Katy ik that Chloe is in wavelengths I will keep ur secret

[@miseenscene_]

IM KATY AND STEPH BIASED

[@JarennSwaggy808]

Same outcome in the Foosball Game. Yeah I was competitive but I Let Steph win

Personally i let steph win the last match

I loved it

[@korhankodal]

Awsome

its actully cool if you think like Steph playing life is strange true colors XD Also is it not funny and cool that the voice actor just look like there character , i mean wow

[@magpieludum2728]

46:38 Lol They put way more effort into this minigame than their main game.

[@larrysain7873]

Some eorrys way in the game

[@witchimurloc]

I really hope we can have a game like this with a trans girl lead some day or at least a major character. It would make me so extremely happy. The inclusion of Izzie made me want more, one can dream, right?

[@Ladco77]

One of the things I so love about how the LiS franchise handle's non-Cis characters is they never make a big deal out it and treat it like it's totally normal. Because it is.

[@Strannik01]

I mean, _Tell Me Why_ exists. Which features a trans guy rather than a trans girl, but it is a Dontnod game that exists.

[@lalen_teja]

Ryan is so pretty
