Tell Me Why es un juego con una historia profunda y muy trabajada, capaz de engancharte desde el principio y de hacer que conectes con sus personajes. Tiene algún pequeño defecto, pero no es nada destacable frente a todo lo bueno que ofrece. La calidad gráfica es muy buena y las expresiones faciales están especialmente cuidadas. Mi consejo es no buscar información sobre el juego antes de jugarlo, porque cualquier spoiler puede arruinar gran parte de la experiencia. Es una historia que merece la pena descubrir por uno mismo. Solo le pongo una pega, y es la misma que encuentro en muchos juegos actuales: no está doblado al castellano. Personalmente, me habría gustado disfrutar más de los gestos y las expresiones de los personajes sin tener que estar pendiente de los subtítulos constantemente (además, la presbicia ya no perdona a ciertas edades). Aun así, es una experiencia muy recomendable para quienes disfrutan de las historias emotivas y de los juegos en los que las decisiones importan

Good game, nice story and great overall !
приятно что эту игру бесплатно раздали
Очень тяжелая история, раскрывается постепенно, но позже немного ускоряется, первый эпизод нужно перетерпеть и дальше будет интересней, а к третьему эпизоду, начинаешь сочувствовать Элисон, что ее сестра(Тайлер) Это припиzднутая эгоистичная бородатая женщина, с бурным воображением. Игра хорошо передает, такое неприятное чувство, фатальной ошибки, и чувство отвращение, когда два раза за игру с тобой флиртует гей хипстер, играя за женщину с бородой. Вообще не понятно на кой черт, они засунули в игру радугу, на мой гoмoфобный взгляд было бы лучше, потрадиционней семейку сделать. В общем и целом, любителям принимать решение в виртуальном мире, рекомендую. Моя оценка 7 развальцованных отверстий из 10

I 100% this game, and honestly, it was decent... The whole story felt shallow, not much depth put into the overall story arc. Although the story somehow indirectly delves into the fact that humans live mostly in their mind instead of the reality, giving more importance to their thoughts than the actual reality, sometimes even avoiding the reality and believing a certain scenario exists without it actually being there (concepts of revolving your life around a few thoughts you firmly believe are true without them having any real counterpart). The story and game had potential, but the overall plot is mid (The in-game acting was good though...). Felt bored majority of the time while the plot unfolded... Could have done better...
Tell Me Why не зашла, хотя в свое время игра даже раздавалась бесплатно. По сравнению с Twin Mirror от тех же разработчиков, этот проект сильно проигрывает. Сюжет кажется затянутым, а навязчивая повестка слишком сильно бросается в глаза и отвлекает от самой сути истории. Персонажи временами откровенно раздражают своими поступками, из-за чего сопереживать им не получается. Единственное, что сделано неплохо — это визуальная часть и атмосфера Аляски, но для хорошей повествовательной игры этого слишком мало. Посредственная драма на один раз, которую не спасает даже нулевой ценник по акции. Она заслуживает только 5 из 10.
Потрясающая игра, ужасно атмосферная, играть и наслаждаться видами
Tell Me Why é um jogo muito interessante. Ele consegue misturar muito bem diversos temas sensíveis como conflito familiar, sexualidade e muito mais. O que mais me instigou no game foi justamente pela sua semelhança com outros jogos marcantes, como Life Is Strange. Da mesma forma, toda escolha que você faz em Tell Me Why muda o rumo da história, nos deixando livre para fazê-la como quisermos. No geral, o game é relativamente curto - cerca de 10h de gameplay. Não achei ruim, já que a história foi bem desenvolvida e concluída num tempo justo (talvez se fosse mais extensa, acabaria perdendo seu valor). O jogo é bem leve mesmo em gráficos altos, então qualquer PC minimamente OK deve rodar Tell Me Why. No mais, eu recomendo muito esse jogo, porém acho uma boa ideia aguardar uma promoção dele completo.
Very underrated choice game from DONTNOD with a fantastic outlook on a transgender protagonist. Many times in this game, I felt a striking resemblance (not in looks, he is much more handsome!) between myself on my own journey and Tyler's journey. It genuinely made me so happy to see such a in-depth feel to a character like this in just a handful of episodes. Added on to that, the writing for the twins is very well done, genuinely felt like sometimes I was fighting with my real-life sibling over the dumbest things (or the most serious things). Overall... The writing, visuals, voice-acting, gameplay/style, and characters make this a game to definitely cherish. *Please note that this game is slow-paced with non-skippable scenes on a first playthrough, and several instances where you are going to spend more time walking and walking around looking at things and talking rather than anything else. It is also a puzzle game, so read read read! Thank you.
