Today at X019, Xbox Games Studios announced a brand-new IP from French developer Dontnod, the makers of Life is Strange. Tell Me Why focuses on the close bond between two twins: Tyler and Alyson Ronan. A \u201ctrue-to-life story\u201d determined by player choice, Tell Me Why will entrust players with the emotionally challenging childhood of its protagonists as they come to grips with their past and grow into adulthood in Alaska.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe core mechanic of the game is the special bond Tyler and Alyson share and is also a theme strongly anchored into the Dontnod storytelling approach,\u201d says game director Florent Guillaume. \u201cOver the course of the story, players will explore the identical twins\u2019 different memories of key events and choose which memory to believe. Ultimately, the choices players make determine the strength of the twins\u2019 bond \u2013 and the future course of their lives.\u201d<\/p>\n

Aside from the already inventive narrative approach, Tell Me Why pushes for inclusiveness as one of the twins, Tyler, is a transgender man.<\/p>\n

\u201cMicrosoft and Dontnod have approached Tyler with a real commitment to authenticity,\u201d explained Nick Adams, Director of Transgender Representation at GLAAD. \u201cTyler is a fully-realized, endearing character, whose story is not reduced to simplistic trans tropes. Creating a playable lead trans character \u2013and taking such care to get it right \u2013raises the bar for future LGBTQ inclusion in gaming.\u201d<\/p>\n
