Frankly, it’s a crime neither Dontnod nor the moneymen at Xbox Games Studios never licensed the Backstreet Boys for at least one of Tell Me Why’s trailers. I’d want it that way, is all I’m saying.
In line with the studio’s stable of supernatural small-town American narratives, Tell Me Why follows the Ronan Twins, Tyler and Alyson, as they dig into childhood memories back in their Alaskan hometown. Beyond folksy family drama and a magical world known as “The Book of Goblins”, however, the key here is that - following Life Is Strange’s focus on queer relationships - Dontnod are now taking on a trans narrative with lead character Tyler. Tell Me Why is out now on Steam and the Microsoft Store as a complete three-part bundle for £25/$30. Episode 1 is available today, with Episode 2 arriving on September 3rd, and Episode 3 on September 10th.
