The latest narrative adventure from the people responsible for the Life Is Strange franchise, Tell Me Why’s first chapter sets the table (rather satisfyingly it seems) for things to come. It starts with a flashback, and then reunites twins Tyler and Alyson, separated for the last decade as a result of that flashback. They are returning to their home town of Delos Crossing in Alaska to draw some lines under some personal stuff. It fairly quickly promises to be far more than might have been anticipated, as personal truths and memories are exposed and explored. Find out more in flotsam's review of ******** Tell Me Why ******** All three chapters now included in the review.
Gardens put to bed. Time for more reading and gaming.

Thanks for the review!
Oh indeed, don't miss this great deal $5 for the full season guys! It's almost given for a such a great game!
When Life is Strange released (2015 ?) I tried the first free chapter and didn't enjoy it that much. There was no real puzzle, and the game was slow on my computer. This year I decided to give it another try and I loved LiS, it is now among my favorite games ever. It has a very unique atmosphere. After finishing LiS, I was a bit sad and was feeling a little "empty" because I liked the game so much, and now I didn't know what I could play after the experience. A month ago (before I read the review here), I gave a try to Tell me why. I wasn't sure if I would like it because of the theme - I'm not familiar with transitioning and don't know real people in the lgbt community. But I really enjoyed the game, it is awesome if you like narrative games and emotional characters. The 2 heros are twins and compare themselves with 2 cunning goblins, which results in the game in the writing of a fairy tale book beautifully illustrated by them and their mother. We use this book to solve the mystery of their past, sometimes to solve puzzles, and to learn more about them and the tragic events that led them to be separated when they were kids, and to reunite together in this story. They decide to investigate to try to remember and understand what happened to their mother in the past, and finally learn if it all happened because of them or not. Honestly I find this game perfect to play around Christmas. It takes place in wonderful environments in Alaska, with snow everywhere, mountains, a frozen lake... , but still it's very warm and cozy to be with the main characters in their house talking of the past. The game is quite slow, you have plenty of time to enjoy the place and it talks a lot, but in a good way imo.
I hope my message can convince a few ones to give it a try! There is no QTE (from what I remember).
