Your decisions matter here and will shape the rest of the story.
Both Tyler and Alyson will have remembered key events differently, and you are then forced to pick between the two differing memories. They often provide context and serve as a catalyst to move things along. These flashbacks are manifested as ghost-like forms that play out in front of you. While exploring key areas such as the twins' home, a store, or a graveyard, small flashes of light, indicating a memory one of the two recalls, can be interacted with. The memories that Alyson and Tyler share serve as a primary gameplay mechanic for moving the story forward. Tell Me Why follows the same tried-and-tested formula Dontnod is known for: explore an area, learn about the characters by interacting with objects, converse with others by picking dialogue options that ultimately affect certain outcomes… the standard affair that's been in place since the original Life is Strange (minus the time-bending, of course). They soon realise that this power hasn't faded and can even share and see each others' memories. Since childhood, the twins have shared a special bond and can communicate telepathically (it wouldn't be a Dontnod narrative adventure without some sort of supernatural element thrown in). They then set out to seek the truth about what happened to their mother over the course of three episodes.įrom the get-go, you're thrown into an episodic world of mystery and feel compelled to move forward to find out more about these intriguing characters. After reuniting, the pair travel back to their childhood home in search of closure, but soon realise their memories of certain events don't quite align. Alyson, whose life has seemingly been on hold since the split from her brother, is planning to move on to bigger things far away from the small town of Delos Crossing in Alaska where the two grew up. The pair grew up as sisters, but Tyler has since transitioned, and while this doesn't define him or the story, it does play a central role in the game's plot. Without wanting to give too much away, Tell Me Why tells the story of twins Alyson and Tyler Ronan, who haven't seen each other for ten years following the tragic death of their mother.
