Play gamescom’s Best Xbox Game of 2020: Tell Me Why Chapter 1 Available Now with Xbox Game Pass

Did you hear the news? Tell Me Why was named gamescom’s Best Microsoft Xbox Game of 2020! Jump into the first chapter of this award-winning three-part series from DONTNOD Entertainment and Xbox Game Studios, available now with Xbox Game Pass, on Xbox One, and on PC for Windows 10 and Steam. 

Tell Me Why tells the story of Alyson and Tyler Ronan, twins who have reunited for the first time in a decade after the death of their mother. Tell Me Why 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, 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, depending on how players choose to proceed in the narrative. 

This latest adventure from DONTNOD Entertainment was crafted in close partnership with cultural, mental health and transgender advocates and organizations. The creative team relied on input from a variety of sources, including trans, nonbinary and gender non-conforming staff at DONTNOD Entertainment and Xbox Game Studios, to ensure a thoughtful portrayal of Tyler, a young trans man. 

The experience doesn’t end today: Tell Me Why’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!
