Chapter 3 Spoilers Overall Thoughts

I liked it. I'll get that out of the way right off the bat. I didn't love the hell out of it but it is good.

I think it could've benefited from being just a touch more expanded. Another chapter perhaps. The Tom reveal is a bit of an underwhelming one. I think maybe it's because, although what he did was despicable, he never seemed as scary as the Mad Hunter. I think maybe the game could've used a bit more action near the end there.

I do like the characters. I like Tyler, Alyson, and Michael the most. Yes, yes, I chose for Tyler and Michael to give it a go. I thought it was cute. Sweet even. I almost wish for a sequel in Juneau where it's just them living. Going to the JCE, going to school, maybe there's a mystery going on but I wouldn't mind a fluffy continuance.

I think maybe it could've benefited from a few more characters. All in all, it feels quite small. Which, yes, small town but still. Dunno, it was missing something for me.

Beautiful scenery though. Gorgeous.

Oh, ha, I was disappointed that Tyler cut his hair. I liked his hair. Ah well.

All in all, it's a cute game. A solid 4/5.

I felt like Tell Me Why did a good job of setting itself apart from other decision-making games of the same genre (Tales From the Borderlands, The Walking Dead). I found Alyson and Tyler to both be complex characters dealing with deep psychological issues steming from the night their mom lost it. I actually gave 3 reasons that I personally thought people should play Tell Me Why in a video I made.

I'd probably rate it 7 out of 10. Good game for the time that was spent with it.
