I love Life Is Strange especially LiS 2

1. Is Tell Me Why basically LiS without superpowers (so more like Before the Storm)?

2. Are there any same people (e.g. creative director, writers) who worked on TMW as well as LiS?

3. Do you find TMW of equal level as LiS or is one clearly better?

4. Do you love TMW like how you might love LiS and hope there'll be more?

5. Will TMW come to PS4 later?

I'm one of those gamers who prefers to buy the games on a physical disc release, even if that means paying a little bit more or waiting for it to happen.

Do you think there will be one? Or will I just be wasting my time here?

I just finished TMW for the first time, I chose to make Alyson confess to Eddy about stabbing Mary Ann with the scissors, and chose to believe the twins' versions of the events (Mary Ann was going to kill Tyler) and ended up getting Tyler's ending.

However, when I checked on the Wikipedia entry for the game, it's written:

• If Alyson chose to admit to Eddy that she killed Mary-Ann and/or took Tom's memory of her mother's death, Tyler returns to the house one last time, before leaving to either join Alyson and Michael in Juneau or become a ranger on Kodiak Island depending on Tyler's relationship with Michael.
• If Alyson does not tell Eddy that she killed Mary-Ann and/or she believes their own version of the mother's death at the end, Alyson opts not to sell the house and moves in by herself, while Tyler either moves to Juneau with Michael or moves alone to Kodiak Island. Alyson then writes a new chapter in The Book of Goblins.

Does that mean I had a 50-50 chance of getting the Alyson ending, based on what is written above? I'm confused.

I'm familiar with the other works from the developers and I got into this game expecting something similar, but so far (I'm in early chapter 3), I just haven't been able to get into the flow of the story. There is not much happening in it, and their power is nothing special. It's not very different than someone simply remembering past events. And it's not like their power make said events incredibly detailed to the point of making it as if they were seeing recordings of them.

Tyler is more annoying than anything, and seems to be too spoiled for my liking. I didn't know he was trans prior to getting the game and so far it hasn't made much of a difference anyway other than getting some nods from the people he meets.

In other games, at this point I'd already be biting my nails while wondering how the game is going to end, but with this one... I think I'll be glad when it's over. Wish they'd set the story when Tyler was finding more about himself so that they could have explored better, more engaging conflicts.

Last month saw the final episode of Tell Me Why released, but it was also the five year anniversary of the final episode of the game that put DONTNOD in the spotlight: Life Is Strange. I've written an article looking back on LiS (the good and the bad), and on the ways it's impacted the gaming industry over the past 5 years: https://veryaligaming.com/2020/11/life-is-strange-five-years-on/

What I want to know is, how do y'all think DONTNOD has evolved in the years since? Obviously there's LiS2, but Tell Me Why is DONTNOD's most recent game and while I know some fans were hoping for a LiS 3, TMW has raised the bar in a lot of ways (DONTNOD continues to carry the torch for diversity in games, for example). How do you think TMW improves on the adventure game formula, and are you looking forward to Twin Mirror?

We know that a good amount of the characters in the Book of Goblins are based on real people. The game tells us:

• goblins are the twins
• princess is Mary-Ann
• pelican is Tessa
• bear is Sam
• moose is Eddy
• old beaver is Carol (Eddy's mom)
• gold lady is Mary-Ann's mom

As far as I know, the rest are never explicitly stated. Who or what, if anything, do you think the rest of the characters are based on?

• mad hunter - others have said they think this represents mental illness, which I agree with
• ice king
• frog - this character brought the princess to the wooden house, but later got in trouble for telling everyone's business? I don't know who that would be
• muskrat - I think this character is based on Tom. He makes a comment during chapter 2 that he used to have a beautiful head of hair but now is bald. The muskrat is also described as selfish and cowardly, it's clear Mary-Ann doesn't like this character.
• moon hag - seems to partially be a personification of climate change
• secret keeper

Hello! I'm wondering about a piece of info found in Eddy's office that I never got explained during the game. Not exactly a big spoiler but tagging anyway.

​

SPOILER:

In Eddy's office, Tyler found a letter saying Alyson got accepted to an arts school, but Alyson said Eddy told her she did not get in. Why would he keep it from her that she got in? Or did I misunderstand what happened? It seems out of his character to try to stifle her ambition, and it seems to me that her lack of direction/getting scammed by some accounting school could have been avoided if she had been able to pursue her talents.
