In fact, the only relief you'll find in Tell Me Why comes via the relationship that the two twins, who have long remained apart, try to restore as they rediscover each other. From the obsession with religious gatherings to the dirty little secrets you'll find in any small community, Tell Me Why is a merciless exploration of various points of view, even if it tries to tone down its darker moments through the bond shared by the Ronan twins. However, what Dontnod is able to do in this three-part drama is offer a terrifying insight into provincial life, but in an extremely real and authentic way. ![]() We won't go into the specific details of the plot because that would mean spoilers that could compromise this almost overwhelming game experience. There is an increasing need to tell stories like the one told by Dontnod in Tell Me Why because they represent an alternative, but necessary, way to explore issues often overlooked by traditional media. Fundamental issues such as gender identity, mental illness, or the profound state of abandonment into which many (too many) in our society find themselves in are addressed here with depth and awareness, which makes Tell Me Why a truly precious experience in a sea of action and adventure. The latest title from the French studio, exclusively for Xbox One and Windows PC, unravels in a skilful and natural way in an intertwining story that aims to explore different aspects of contemporary society that still struggle to find appropriate representation without resorting to stereotypes. We saw it recently in The Last of Us: Part II, but also in Dontnod's new episodic game, Tell Me Why. And that's not because there's a lack of talented development studios, but rather because the stories and themes found in contemporary games touch upon issues which were previously unthinkable or not widely explored, with the same care and the same emotional power as we've seen in other media. Writing important and impactful stories and translating them into a video game is an increasingly complex challenge nowadays. ![]()
