There are also some very lovable side characters in this game, as players are introduced to Michael, Alyson’s best friend who is a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community and serves as an adorable love interest to Tyler. It feels very real and relatable which makes the characters resonate with players even more. We see how she struggles with anxiety, especially further along in the game. With our other lead character, Alyson, players can see a very accurate depiction of mental illness. Players can hear him talk about his struggles and see Tyler grapple with very real issues that trans folks face, and it’s nice to see it so deeply rooted in the plot instead of being shoved aside. The game developers worked hard to make sure the character wasn’t reduced to the simple tropes LGBTQ+ characters usually are in the industry.
It’s not only amazing and important to see a trans lead from fairly mainstream game developers, but what really stands out is that Tyler isn’t simply made to be “trans” in the sense that this is his only personality trait. Tyler is our trans lead who is voiced by a trans man. This game really makes you connect with the two main characters, both in different ways. Set in a fictional Alaskan town, the twins unravel the memories of their younger years while cleaning out their childhood home to be sold.
“Tell Me Why” follows the stories of two twins, Tyler and Alyson Ronan, who reunite after being apart for 10 years while leading very different lives. The award-winning game also made history with its first lead transgender character in a major video game.įrom the creators of the “Life is Strange” series, Dontnod Entertainment does not disappoint, bringing players a brand new game that is just as gripping and intimate as their previous releases. “Tell Me Why” is a narrative adventure game that packs an emotional punch and keeps you on your toes until the very end.
