Tell Me Why is the next narrative adventure gaming coming from Life Is Strange 2 developer Dontnod Entertainment, and it will stand out because one of the main characters is transgender.

The use of a transgender character is rare for a video game, but Dontnod has been pretty bold when it comes to sexuality in its games. In Life is Strange 2, for example, a player can decide whether one of the main characters likes either males or females.
