We’re thrilled to share that voiceover for Tell Me Why is now available in the following languages: French German Spanish (Latin America) Portuguese (Brazil) Subtitles remain available in the above languages, as well as in Italian, Japanese and Korean. If you don't see these languages in the game right away, you may need to download the latest version update. Voiceover in the above languages was intended to be included with the game at launch; however, the COVID-19 pandemic made it very difficult - and in many cases impossible - to safely record our voice actors. We greatly appreciate your pat

Tell Me Why review The pacing makes this one a very slow burn, but Tell Me Why is a good entry into Dontnod’s library of stories about families and sad magic. * Developer: Dontnod Entertainment; * Publisher: Xbox Game Studios; * Release: Out now; * On: Windows; * From: Steam; * Price: £25/€30/$30; If you’ve played Life Is Strange or Life Is Strange 2, you probably know roughly what to expect from Dontnod’s new story-focused adventure about about small towns and intense familial relationships, Tell Me Why. However, whereas LIS focused more on the teen experience of these the
