Tell Me Why is DONTNOD Entertainment’s first collaboration with Microsoft. The game has recently won best Microsoft Xbox Game at Gamescom. The game will be released in three parts with the complete story available by the end of 2020.
The story is based around two siblings who return to their childhood home in rural Alaska to solve a mystery. Alyson and Tyler Ronan are twins with a unique supernatural connection. It’s been ten years since their mother’s death and they are searching for answers.
The genre is a narrative adventure. The Tlingit culture plays a significant role in the story and scenery. The gameplay is based on branching dialogue and dramatic actions. The developers consulted and commissioned Huna Tlingit artisans to create authentic dialogue and art objects that appear in the game.
The game developers are based in Paris led by game director Florent Guillaume. Tell Me Why’s music was created by composer Ryan Lott.
One of the more rewarding aspects of writing music is the ability to capture a variety of emotions at the same time,” said Ryan. “Scoring Tell Me Why was the perfect opportunity to do just that, as our characters are caught in a complex psychological state. Reverberations of the past, a quest to unfold a bewildering secret, and the power and intimacy of an indescribable connection make the story full of conflicted emotions.”
