What Is Tell Me Why?
Tell Me Why is a story-driven RPG of sorts. It’s very much in line with many of DONTNOD’s other story-driven titles, such as what players may be familiar with in the company’s Life is Strange franchise. This title will have players searching for answers and giving the game’s two sibling protagonists the chance to uncover the mystery that’s been haunting them ever since they were children. It’s a heavy game that deals with a lot of intense subject matter but brings optimism to it through its dynamic main cast of characters.
Though DONTNOD’s Tell Me Why has been out for several years at this point, it’s a pretty important title for players, especially transgender players. With all of the ongoing bills and legislature against us, it’s refreshing to see game companies not only recognize us and allow us to be seen and lead in their games, but it’s great to see them give games like this out for free so not only we can play them but our allies as well.
So, that’s really all there is to it! You’ll have a new game to play on your Xbox consoles and PCs alike if you follow this guide! Happy Pride Month to all those celebrating, whether you’re part of the LGBTQIA+ community or one of our loving allies! What are you playing to celebrate the history, perseverance, and love that the LGBTQIA+ community embodies this month and every day of the year?
