It's just a shame that it feels largely irrelevant to the story being told. Its depiction of rural Alaska is gorgeous and supremely detailed, Dontnod really have an eye for lived in spaces as well as those big vistas.
If Tell Me Why was just that, it might well have been among my favourite games this year. Up front it's also a story about Tyler's identity as a trans man, his struggles with that identity in his past as well as dealing with prejudices in his present. Now they're revisiting the family home and all manner of painful memories are coming to the forefront. Twins Tyler and Alyson are reunited for the first time in ten years since the death of their mother, who we're told Tyler killed in self defence. What's worth salvaging are some scattered bits and pieces, and a sizeable, engaging second chapter.
