The player enters the story when Alyson gets to pick up Tyler from Fireweed, a home for troubled youths where Tyler has lived for the last decade. One night changes everything for the Ronan family as Mary Ann is stabbed and falls in an almost frozen lake which ultimately leads to the separation of the twins. Escapism is a large part of this story, both in relation to adults and children.

Tyler and Alyson are twins and don’t have any other friends besides each other and the stories they’ve been creating together with their mother. Tyler and Alyson Ronan live with their mother Mary Ann in a small cottage by the lake. But one night something happens which will be talked about for a long time in this close community. The winters are cold and harsh, the town is often reliant on aeroplanes passing by with supplies, and there isn’t much to do in the town. Tell Me Why is about a brother and a sister in a small village in Alaska. This is the Xbo圎ra review of Tell Me Why.

While DontNod certainly has been able to tell a good story with Tell Me Why, it hasn’t been able to remove the video game annoyances often found in story focused projects, but more on that later. The nuance that has been brought to the table in Tell Me Why is commendable. Besides telling an interesting story of a torn apart family and the death of a young mother in a small and close community, DontNod have been able to tell real stories by real characters who aren’t defined by only one aspect of their character and history. And to spoil this review in advance, Tell Me Why is no different. DontNod Entertainment has been one of the best developers consistently bringing interesting storytelling to the interactive world of entertainment. Telling a touching story in video games has luckily become more ingrained in the video game industry. And we’re about to find out what actually occured in this cold, distant place in Alaska. Something horrible happened back here in 2005.
