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.
