Tell Me Why^TM tells the story of Alyson and Tyler Ronan, two twins who have reunited for the first time in a decade after the death of their mother. Tell Me Why^TM is an intimate mystery where you will play as both Tyler and Alyson as they explore the mysteries of their joyful but troubled childhood in beautiful small-town Alaska.

Throughout their time with Tell Me Why^TM, players will experience gameplay that's anchored around the Bond, a unique link between Alyson and Tyler that allows them to recall memories from their past. Some of these memories play a pivotal role in the eventual outcome of Tell Me Why^TM, depending on how players choose to proceed in the narrative.

This latest adventure from DONTNOD Entertainment was crafted in close partnership with different organizations. The creative team relied on their input to ensure that the characters and themes in the game provide an inclusive and thoughtful portrayal, especially for Tyler's character as a transgender man.

The experience doesn't end today: Tell Me Why^TM's three chapters will release on a weekly cadence, with Chapter 2 landing on Sept. 3 and Chapter 3, the conclusion, following up on September 10. We can't wait to see how fans will share their experiences and choices throughout their time in Delos Crossing!

Oskar Guilbert, CEO of DONTNOD Entertainment said: “I am very honored to receive this prestigious award at the biggest video game event in the world, gamescom. This is a great recognition of the quality of the work accomplished by our teams in a difficult period of health crisis. I thank them very warmly.”

Chapter 1 of Tell Me Why^TM is available now for purchase on Xbox One, and on PC for Windows 10 and Steam. The game is also available on Xbox Game Pass for both console and PC. For the latest on Tell Me Why, follow us on social media or visit our website at tellmewhygame.com.
