Once I got deeper into episode 1, I started to really appreciate the story they were trying to tell. Trauma and grief aren't easy to deal with, and everyone deals with it differently. Memories are tricky and things aren't always as we think we remember them. I took the time to really think about the choices I was making and how it would impact the characters at the end. I feel like I kind of placed myself in their shoes and sent myself along the path I would want to go through if I wanted to heal from the situation. I think overall some things could have been shortened or cut out, but otherwise I enjoyed my time with this game greatly. If it's the type of game you enjoy, it's definitely a tough, emotional and potentially triggering story.

hé ben autant c'est assez joliment réalisé (notamment les décors et des bonnes musiques, moins les persos) et ya des puzzles sympa, autant c'est chiant et mou du genou.

Histoire pas ouf, ça tire en longueur, persos qui méritent des claques...

c'était pas top

Tell Me Why follows twins Alyson and Tyler who have telepathic-esque powers as they investigate their complicated childhood, including the tragic night of their mother's death. This game is very similar to the Life is Strange series but falls short of the magic that makes LiS great. However, if you just want familiar aesthetic and game mechanics, TMW will scratch that itch. The game does a good job of representation, bringing characters to life with queer/trans and/or Alaska Native backgrounds. It may or may not be directly influenced or inspired by LiS but it does come across as a poor attempt of being a love letter to the Square Enix franchise. The story is compelling enough to overlook the lackluster voice acting and the rest of the game's flaws but this is still going to be an average episodic, choose your own adventure game.

Some video game stories are about grand adventures, saving the world and all sorts of epic, massive things. Tell Me Why is about a brother and a sister looking into their past in their small Alaskan town.

The siblings, Ronan and Alyson prepare their old house for sale – a house where Ronan had killed their mother at, thinking that she was about to murder him due to hating that her “daughter” identified as a boy. He ended up in a special prison, and had only just been released. As they search through their house, they discover things that imply that their memories of the incident may not have been what it seems.

Throughout three chapters, you progress through their investigation, learn more about the people in town and go through a very personal story – something that seems quite rare in video games. The mystery is compelling and has a good pay-off at the end.

Como fã incondicional da franquia Life is Strange, mergulhei em Tell me Why com expectativas relativamente consideráveis, mas com pé no chão. As tentativas de se igualar ao principal grande acerto da Dontnod já foram muitas, e sinceramente, não acredito que isso seja possível.

No entanto, a empresa mantém um nível muito bom no que se diz respeito a experiências com foco principal na narrativa, e mais uma vez, me agradou bastante.

Estamos diante de uma história envolta de sentimentos dos mais diversos e conflitantes, todos eles girando em torno de irmãos gêmeos assombrados por memórias trágicas envolvendo sua mãe.

Memórias essas, que devido a confusão generalizada causada pelas memórias também conflitantes sobre o que de fato aconteceu naquele dia, se tornam o grande mistério a ser solucionado.

O enredo se desenvolve muito bem de maneira geral, mas em certos momentos notei uma certa dificuldade na transmissão desses sentimentos pelos personagens, talvez até pela limitação das expressões faciais, mas não é nada que comprometa muito.

Outro fator muito bacana a se destacar é a dualidade da narrativa com as histórias semelhantes a contos de fadas presentes em um livro de histórias criado pela mãe dos protagonistas, sendo cada uma das figuras fantasiosas como os Goblins Travessos ou a Princesa Sábia representações de pessoas importantes para a história, que conhecemos durante o jogo.

Como anteriormente dito, Tell me Why segue a consistente linha de bons jogos de narrativa deixado pelo legado do primeiro e grandioso Life is Strange, retratando temas importantíssimos e fortes de maneira consciente e bem colocada. Não entra para os meus favoritos do gênero, mas merece seu espaço como uma ótima obra.
