This is in conjunction with Black’s aforementioned great performance. What I can say, however, with utmost confidence is that Tyler is among the more memorable characters in recent video game history, and at least in terms of his dialogue, is exceptionally written. It is also important to note that this game has been made in association with GLAAD, and that August Aiden Black is himself transgender. While I feel I am not fully in a position to comment on the portrayal, nothing about Tyler’s character struck me as exploitative or misguided. It also deserves to be mentioned the strides the game makes in terms of representation. He is every bit as great as Alyson, and this is due in large part to August Aiden Black’s performance, who perfectly captures every side of Tyler beautifully. This means he can butt heads with Alyson at points, and may in some instances come across as a bit unlikable, but he is incredibly self-aware of whenever he oversteps his boundaries, and is quick with an apology and a witty remark. A transgender man, Tyler shares many of the same qualities as his sister such as kindness and creativity but he is, in contrast, a strong, determined young man with a genuine sense of where he wants his life to go. If you played DONTNOD’s Life Is Strange series, you should pretty much know what to expect here (the games play virtually identically), but whereas I felt those games at points seemed out of touch with their target demographic (seriously guys, I was 16 when you released that game, we do NOT say “Hella” unless we are referring to the goddess “Hela”), Tell Me Why is incredibly introspective, thoughtful and realistic.
This is coupled with DONTNOD’s signature point-and-quick style gameplay with meaningful choices, that drives the narrative forward. The story fits well into the episodic release structure, touching upon many of televisions hallmarks from cliffhanger endings to brief synopses. The set-up is intriguing, and the mystery is one that I found myself dedicated to solving from the beginning. After an incident separates the two siblings, they reunite after 10 long years to pick through the rubble of the family home, and rekindle their relationship with each other and the citizens of their childhood town Delos Crossing, Alaska.īeginning with the narrative, Tell Me Why is engaging from the outset, with two incredibly well-defined characters. Tell Me Why is an episodic adventure title telling the story of twins Tyler and Alyson Ronan, as they attempt to uncover a mystery in their past. How to Download Xbox Game Pass Games With Alexa
