Throughout the entirety of June, Dontnod has made the entirety of Tell Me Why available for free on Xbox and Steam. This free offer runs from today through to June 30th in celebration of Pride Month. It is possible to download this episodic adventure game from the Microsoft Store for either Xbox or PC and through Steam for the PC.
Once you add the game to your account, regardless of where you redeem it, it's yours to keep forever.
A post on the official Tell Me Why website reveals that the development studio wanted to allow "even more people to access the game." Dontnod also encourages players to spend their money "in places that will directly affect trans and queer communities."
Our intention in making Tell Me Why free for June 2021 is both to allow even more people to access the game and to encourage our players to spend their money in places that will directly affect trans and queer communities. Here are some of our team’s recommendations for where your money can go instead:
- Support games and interactive fiction from trans and queer independent developers. Some of our team’s recent favorites have been That Which Faith Demands by Jenna Yow, Spirit Swap by Soft Not Weak, Ikenfell by Happy Ray Games, and If Found… by DREAMFEEL. (Don’t forget that adding a title to your wishlist, especially on a platform like Steam, goes a long way toward boosting its visibility for others!)
- Donate to a charity serving trans communities, especially those with a focus on Black, Latinx/Latine and/or Indigenous trans people.
- Donate to a mutual aid fund in your region.
- Give directly to a trans or queer person in need.
Tell Me Why is the latest narrative adventure game from DONTNOD Entertainment, the studio behind the beloved franchise, Life is Strange. In this intimate mystery, reunited twins Tyler and Alyson Ronan use their supernatural bond to unravel the memories of their loving but troubled childhood. Set in beautiful small-town Alaska, Tell Me Why features true-to-life characters, mature themes and gripping choices.
As you conjure up memories of the past, your choices will affect the twins’ relationship, determine the strength of their bond, and shape the course of their lives.
