To hear from some of the many people whose lived experiences informed Tyler’s character, please watch our interview Tell Me Why – Approaching Representation. Dontnod is developing Tell Me Why with guidance from a number of LGBTQ, cultural, and mental health advocacy groups in support of its characters, story, and themes such as the Huna Heritage. August’s personal experiences also inspired key moments and lines of dialogue. During recording sessions, August provided edits to the script if he felt a certain line or moment did not do justice to Tyler’s story, making him an invaluable part of the creative process. In this intimate mystery, reunited twins Tyler and Alyson Ronan use their supernatural bond to unravel the mysteries of their loving but troubled childhood.
Importantly, August Black, Tyler’s voice actor, also made significant contributions to Tell Me Why’s dialogue. Tell Me Why is the latest narrative adventure game from DONTNOD Entertainment, the studio behind the beloved franchise, Life is Strange. For over two years, Nick offered foundational guidance on story and character, consulted on casting, and reviewed scripts at all phases of production.
To ensure that Tyler’s character would resonate with a wide and diverse audience of trans people, the Tell Me Why team worked closely with two of GLAAD’s transgender staff: Nick Adams, Director of Transgender Representation and Blair Durkee, Special Consultant for Gaming. Trans, nonbinary and gender non-conforming staff at both DONTNOD and Xbox have made countless key creative contributions to Tell Me Why, including in character design, narrative and dialogue, building inclusive online spaces for the game, and much more.
