Throughout the game you alternate between playing Tyler and Alyson. Do my decisions actually impact these characters in a meaningful way? The answer to this question is a definitive yes.
The most important aspect of this type of branching story game is the decision making. Physically seeing and hearing past events that caused Alyson and Tyler pain is much more impactful than a dramatic character monologue.
I found it to be a very emotional tool for storytelling at times. These memories often offer insight into specific formative events from their childhood. However, this bond takes on an almost magical type of power as they can collectively share past memories together. Alyson and Tyler share a very close bond in which many twins can attest is a very real thing. The use of underlying science-fiction “powers” remains an interesting signature of Dontnod. While Tell Me Why does not variate or innovate much from its predecessors. Welcome Similarities With Key Differences Given the small community in Delos Creek, I felt like I weighed my decisions in the game even more carefully. This is a smart and natural extension to the butterfly effects of Life is Strange. If you were mean or diminutive to one person, it felt like it truly had a ripple effect. This adds a certain weight to how you interact with different characters. I spent much of my time dissecting every location and taking in all the collectibles, and lore the game had to offer. The familiarity of the characters with each other is palpable. The rural and incredibly small-town environment, where everyone knows each other very well instantly comes across. The game quickly sets itself apart from other decision focused games like Detroit: Become Human. With the story revolving around a small Native American community in a place called Delos Creek. The game takes place in rural Alaska, which is a location not frequented by many games. One of the most instantly noticeable things in Tell Me Why is the setting. All three episodes are available via Xbox Game Pass. Then the final chapter will release on September 10th. The first episode will launch on August 27th, with chapter releasing on September 3rd. Unlike previous DontNod games which had players waiting a few months between chapters. It is important to note, that these chapters will be launching exactly one week apart from each other. While this review is a spoiler-free overview of all of these chapters. Tell Me Why is spread across three unique chapters. As memories and terrors spin around them, a story is woven that brings the past and present into one cohesive vision. After many years apart, they are coming together to sell their deceased mother’s house. In their newest game, we play Alyson and Tyler a pair of twins from Alaska. These are the creative minds behind the critically acclaimed Life Is Strange series.
Tell Me Why is the new story-focused adventure from developer Dontnod Entertainment.
