Tell Me Why review
Release date: August 27, 2020.
Tell Me Why - a new game from a fairly well-known French developer Dontnod (famous for such projects as Remember Me and Vampyr). From the point of view of the plot and gameplay, Tell Me Why is closer to his most successful project - Life is Strange.
The main characters are the Ronan twins - Tyler and Alison. They stand out among others by the presence of a mysterious spiritual connection with each other. With its help, the heroes will try to find out everything related to their childhood, because it was at this time that events took place that influenced the fate of Tyler and his mother. To do this, they go to Alaska, where their home is located.
On the way to find out the truth, the twins will go through many trials and obstacles. Every action taken by the player will be reflected in the further passage of the plot. The result of the whole game will show how strong the bond between Tyler and Alison is, and also make it clear what the future of these two characters is.
Plot served in parts like any episodic game. This allows for a better understanding of the story of the hero twins.
A separate feature of the project is Tyler's orientation - he transgender. This led to the fact that Tell Me Why ceased to be sold in a number of countries, such as Russia, Ukraine, the United Arab Emirates, Turkey, China and others. The reason for this was the position of these states regarding LGBT communities.
The lack of sales in Russia has led to the fact that there is no localization into Russian. Text and sound remain in English.
