So Tell Me Why in some ways flips the script on what we've unfortunately come to expect from tropes that so often showcase violence against transgender people. Now in their early 20s, the Ronan twins are reunited and discover that the truth behind what happened may be far more complicated than they remember. It’s a tightly knit mystery and character drama about a few people in a small Alaskan town with a few supernatural elements mixed in.Īlyson and Tyler were separated 10 years before the events of the game because their mother, Mary Ann, seemingly attacked Tyler after she found out that he cut his hair for not identifying as a woman. There aren’t any world-ending stakes here. This story feels more personal than all of Dontnod and Xbox's other offerings. While slow-paced, Tell Me Why manages to keep you engaged thanks to its memorable characters, each with a lot of depth. Tyler is also an openly out transgender man, so for him to have a leading role in a major game published by a console manufacturer like Xbox feels like a huge step forward in terms of representation in games.Įven if occasionally lackluster gameplay and sub-par animation subtract from the game’s overall magic, Tell Me Why still offers a refreshing narrative with character archetypes we almost never see in mainstream media. The full scope of all three chapters is even more intriguing than it seems at first, with an intimate story uplifted by a diverse and well-developed cast of characters.
Only the first episode of Tell Me Why has been released thus far. This leads them to question everything they thought they knew about their friends and family as their supernatural powers emerge. As they clear out their childhood home in Delos Crossing, Alaska, they discover something that transforms how they perceive this childhood trauma. They're are reunited after being pulled apart a decade prior following an altercation that resulted in their mother’s death.
The latest title from Life is Strange developer Dontnod Entertainment, Tell Me Why, delivers a smaller but just as captivating story about a pair of twins - Tyler and Alyson - who can communicate telepathically with one another and relive their memories.
