The twins quickly learn that memories can be painful but also must be explored to uncover the truth. Spending 10 years apart has clearly taken a toll on the twins and their initial exchanges are somewhat coarse and awkward. It is great to see that subject matter experts were consulted during the game creation process to ensure that the topics surrounding gender, sexuality and mental health were accurately portrayed and handled with respect, sensitivity and accuracy. Dontnod are known for tackling sometimes sensitive issues in their games and this release is no exception. Both siblings have noticeably done a lot of growing over the years and have been through a lot of changes during the decade they spent apart, but most notable is Tyler’s transition, becoming a young transgender man. Alyson stayed in Delos and was raised by her uncle while Tyler was sent to a juvenile facility called Fireweed. After the unfortunate death of their mother, Alyson and Tyler were sadly separated due to the circumstances surrounding the incident.

Delos is the kind of close-knit community where everyone knows each other and their business which can sometimes be both a blessing and a curse. In this story we follow twins Alyson and Tyler from a very small town in Alaska called Delos Crossing.

This new game has no connection to the Life is Strange universe but does follow a similar narrative play style defined by player choices. As a fan of the previous DONTNOD title Life is Strange I was certainly intrigued to play their new release Tell Me Why.
