Tell Me Why is Free for Pride Month

Tell Me Why is an episodic adventure game centering around twins with a mysterious past. Developed by DONTNOD Entertainment and published by XBox Game Studios, the game’s first chapter is free, but you normally have to pay for the second and third chapters. However, in honor of Pride Month, the entire game is free from now until the end of June.

What is Tell Me Why?

Tell Me Why is a choice-driven adventure game from DONTNOD Entertainment, the developers behind Life is Strange. It tells the story of twins Tyler and Alyson, who must use their supernatural bond to discover the truth behind their mother’s death. Your choices affect story branches and relationships, making for a deep, immersive experience that puts the player in charge of the outcomes.

Why is Tell Me Why Free? Is There a Catch?

This is the fifth year in a row when Tell Me Why is free for Pride Month. The game’s lead character, Tyler, is trans, which makes the game significant for Pride Month, especially with the current political climate that is growing increasingly hostile towards LTBTQ+ people. Offering a free game that stars a trans character lets gamers see that yes, trans people exist and yes, they are normal. In June, you can download the game on Steam and XBox and keep all three chapters forever without any further payment required.

The Importance of Pride Month and LGBTQ+ Representation

Aside from the simple excitement of getting a free game, downloading this game shows support for the LGBTQ+ community. Some people question the necessity of Pride Month, but LGBTQ+ people still face prejudice and hostility on a regular basis. Pride Month lets us show that we aren’t ashamed and we aren’t going anywhere. We are all around you, and we are worthy to star in video games.

Conclusion

If you enjoy games like Life is Strange or you simply want to support the LGBTQ+ community, you can pick up your free copy of Tell Me Why until June 30. Hopefully, the tradition of making the game free for Pride Month will help raise awareness of LGBTQ+ rights as people play the game and realize that trans people aren’t all that different from them after all.
