When Tell Me Why launched in the summer of 2020, Dontnod called it a landmark work; Tyler is a transgender man, and Dontnod called him the first playable transgender character in a game from a major studio and publisher.
Tell Me Why follows Tyler and Alyson Roman, a set of Alaskan twins coming from a troubled childhood.
“Our intention in making Tell Me Why free for June 2021 is both to allow even more people to access the game and to encourage our players to spend their money in places that will directly affect trans and queer communities,” Dontnod said in a statement.
