Tell Me Why is a good story in a charming world but the choices and plot fail to enthrall.

Despite the craft and heart, Tell Me Why feels like a game at odds with itself.

Another excellent narrative adventure that combines topical issues and emotional drama.

Tell Me Why offers a much-needed reshaping of the choose your own adventure games, moving away from cliffhangers and dramatic, distinct choices towards a more gentle and meaningful experience. The game features bouts of magic realism, but is most magic in its human moments. All the major choices shape your character's experience more than their actions, and while the first, introductory chapter occasionally feels shallow, later chapters are overflowing with depth.

The game is a story about childhood trauma, which is great to have it pictured in popular media. The graphics are super crisp for a DONTNOD game. Expect gameplay like Life is Strange's: slow and full of cinematics, I often put down the controller and just watch the movie.
