Tell Me Why

Классная игра со своей изюминкой, мне понравилось. Сразу отмечу, что игра хоть и затрагивает тему ЛГБТ, но её нельзя сводить только к этому. В первую очередь, я считаю, что это история о взаимоотношениях двух близких людей, нераскрытых тайнах и прошлом. По атмосфере игра местами напоминает детектив, желание узнать правду действительно затягивает. В визуальной составляющей нет ничего сверхъестественного, но атмосфера присутствует. Из минусов могу выделить отсутствие русского и украинского языков, а так все нормально. В целом, Tell Me Why оставила у меня положительные впечатления. Это интересная игра с хорошей историей и своей уникальной подачей.

The most unlikable characters whose whole personality is their childhood trauma, the mother clearly saw how obnoxious they would grow up to be and did the right thing trying to shoot them

Well, I was really bored. The dialogue and the plot in general are of an average standard, but in terms of gameplay, the number of drawn-out sections is unacceptable to me. There’s also far too much exposition for my liking, and the game shoves every piece of information right under our noses, so we don’t have to work things out for ourselves. A story that should have taken a maximum of 5 hours has been stretched out to 10.

This game has never made me want to detransition so quickly in my life. I didn't know you could make the introduction to a game 40 minutes long with about 2 seconds of dialogue. If this was used a form of torture, it would be banned in several countries for violating the Geneva convention. The CIA invented this game just to test how long you can endure it.

A sweet, sad, and complicated story. I picked it up because it was free for pride month, and didn't even look at the premise. The story definitely isn't perfect. At times I was rolling my eyes at some of the dialogue, and there are some glaring plot holes, but in the end there was a lot of heart and this story was clearly handcrafted with love. The puzzles are light and easy and I LOVE the book of goblins. And its nice to see a trans character take center stage in a story, and see everyone be surprisingly accepting. For all of Tyler's complaints about Delos Crossing, the people there were truly as kind as they could be to a transgender murderer coming back into town after ten years away. My biggest nitpick is that there is a choice to pursue a romantic relationship, and I didn't feel like romance over friendship in this case actually added anything. In fact, I feel as though the shallowness of the romance actually took away a bit from some of the larger themes. It was cute and sweet, but the love interest ends up pulling all of the emotional weight in the very short romance arc, with our MC giving very little in return. Having Tyler find a supportive friend who can help him step into the world might be the stronger route, and I regret choosing romance just because it seemed "right." I did like the theme that memories are imperfect and we have to choose the version of reality that we're able to accept. Sometimes, there are no answers left to discover. There is only what you believe. Unfortunately, despite missing quite a few achievements, its unlikely that I'll go back to complete this game a second time. The walking is just TOO slow and the first chapter is quite a slog. This last bit is a little bit of a spoiler- I was expecting more to be done with the police investigation and with Eddy. I was CONVINCED that there was NO WAY the police actually believed the twins' story. If Tyler was being confronted on the pier, then how did he stab his mother in the BACK? If Tyler was the one receiving the haircut, why was he holding the scissors? Mary Ann fell into the lake with the scissors in her back, but the scissors were never recovered, and Eddy was the first on the scene. There is a suspicious pair of scissors in Eddy's desk that we can't even interact with. Is this a flaw in the writing, or a hidden part of the story that we just don't get to engage with? Why can we never confront Eddy for other lies he told Alyson, like lying about her getting into a special program and hiding her acceptance letter? And why on earth does everyone in this town keep documents from 10 years ago on their top shelf???????

Was not that interesting to me.

The story was decent, not as long or hits as deep as the main LiS games, but it was fairly emotional nonetheless. The dialogue options / choices felt pretty straightforward and less impactful comparatively as well. I felt like the most impactful choice for endings occurs in the last chapter. Also, the soundtrack was pretty good as usual.

Sub 3 game trying to show psionic abilities. Dbh "Find Jericho" mission is 10x more interesting than this game thank god got this game for free
