When I first heard that one of the two protagonists of Tell Me Why, Tyler Ronan, was a transgender man, I confess that my mind immediately went to all the horrible things Dontnod could put him through. This is a relief considering that one of its main focuses is a transgender character. It's almost like Tell Me Why is out to prove that the world isn't always awful. It feels like a more mature game, not just because it depicts adult characters for the first time, but because of the world around them. It almost feels like Dontnod's works are deliberately showcasing the worst that humanity has to offer. This has been the common undercurrent running through developer Dontnod's story-driven games so far, whether it's been Max and Chloe up against evil forces in Life is Strange, or the Diaz brothers escaping cops and white supremacists in Life is Strange 2. The world is shit and it's out to get you.
