Tell Me Why

  1. Platforms: Xbox One, PC
  2. Genre: adventure
  3. Developer: DONTNOD Entmt

Tell Me Why is another episodic adventure by the creators of Life is Strange, which means we can expect a charming, intimate story taking place somewhere in American province. This time, the action will take us to Alaska, and the main characters – twins named Tyrone and Alison – are trying to unravel the dark secrets of their past.

As before, choices will be crucial, which, we hope, will significantly affect the outcome of the whole story. The authors decided to take a rather bold step and one of the main characters – Tyler – is transgender. How will it affect the plot and reception of the game? We'll find out soon enough.

  1. you like adventure games;
  2. and engaged games that tackle serious problems.
