Whether Tyler is ever misgendered, for example.

And to make sure that everyone can be comfortable playing, the developers have published answers to questions that, while spoiling aspects of the game, may be important to know. The game tells the story with great respect and sensitivity, to the extent that it doesn’t use Tyler’s deadname, or birth name, at any point. They included GLAAD and members of the Tlingit Indigenous culture that is also part of the fabric of the game. In addition to unabashedly including a transgender character, Dontnod’s development process was distinguishable in how people from represented populations were consulted. You control one of the two characters at a time, moving through the environments and choosing what to look at, who to talk to, and how to respond. The French studio also created the Life is Strange series, which explored high-school students coming of age. As they explore the truth of it all, as the player you decide what their relationship will become depending on how you act. They realize that what happened in that place is not quite what they remember. While there, they rediscover what it means that they are twins. The two are therefore understandably unsure what will surface on their return.

It’s been 10 years since they left under traumatic circumstances. The twins travel to the remote, rural home where they grew up to get it prepared for sale. Set in Alaska, the three-chapter story features transgender Tyler and his sister Alyson. It transcends genre by putting a transgender character at the centre of the experience.

As reported on E Central Sports, Tell Me Why is a new narrative game about family secrets and the difficulty of coming home.
