Critic Reviews
"The new gold standard for trans characters in games"
Tell Me Why has reinvented the choice based adventure game as something more subtle and character driven, and leads the way as Xbox moves from big exclusives to a steady stream of GamePass gems. In Tyler Ronan, they’ve given us a character for the ages.
