“Over the course of the story, players will explore the identical twins’ different memories of key events and choose which memory to believe. There is no word on if the game is also coming to PlayStation.“The 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,” explained Florent Guillaume, Tell Me Why‘s Game Director. The game will be on Xbox Game Pass, while people can also purchase it outright on Xbox One and PC (including Steam). What this means in practice is that all three chapters will be released in one period of time-Summer 2020. Tell Me Why's story unfolds across three chapters that will be released on a 'clear and predictable schedule,' according to Microsoft. 'Creating a playable lead trans character-and taking such care to get it right-raises the bar for future LGBTQ inclusion in gaming.' 'Tyler is a fully-realized, endearing character, whose story is not reduced to simplistic trans tropes,' Adams said.

GLAAD's Nick Adams said in a statement that Microsoft and Dontnod worked hard to construct Tyler as a character 'with a real commitment to authenticity.' 'We are especially grateful to Microsoft for its full support, openness, and help regarding Tyler's identity and character, as a transgender man,' Guillaume said.ĭontnod said it worked alongside LGBTQ advocacy group GLAAD to make Tyler an 'authentic representation of the trans experience.' Microsoft says Tyler is the 'first playable videogame hero from a major studio and publisher who is also transgender.'

Tyler and Alyson are both playable and are 'equal heroes' in the campaign.
