Weekend Gaming Opportunity
If you’re in search of a narrative-driven gaming experience infused with supernatural elements, your weekend plans may just have found a delightful addition. The adventure game Tell Me Why, developed by the acclaimed studio behind Life Is Strange, is currently available for free on Steam, allowing players to add it to their libraries at no cost.
While there hasn’t been an explicit announcement from Dontnod on their social media channels, this initiative aligns with a trend that has emerged over the past five years. Each year, as Pride Month approaches, Tell Me Why becomes available for free. Last year, the studio encouraged players to consider donating what they might have spent on the game to trans-inclusive charities, such as the Trevor Project or TransActual.
Unlike traditional adventure games that often rely on complex puzzles, Tell Me Why emphasizes the impact of narrative choices, allowing players to witness how their decisions reverberate throughout the story. While our review was somewhat reserved, awarding it a score of 69, writer Sam Greer acknowledged the game’s “craft and heart,” despite noting it felt “at odds with itself.”
For those interested in exploring this unique experience, all three episodes of Tell Me Why can be easily added to your library via the Steam store page. This generous offer will be available until July 1, providing ample time to dive into the game’s rich narrative landscape.
