In Celebration of Pride Month, Steam Offers the Global Game “Tell Me Why” for Free
From now until July 1, 2025, Steam users can add the acclaimed narrative adventure game “Tell Me Why” to their library at no cost.
Developed by Dontnod Entertainment – the Studio Behind the Successful “Life is Strange” Series, “Tell Me Why” Offers a Deeply Emotional Narrative Experience
The game follows the story of twin siblings Alyson and Tyler, who possess supernatural abilities that allow them to connect with their past as they uncover the mystery surrounding their mother’s death. A significant highlight of “Tell Me Why” is the representation of Tyler, who is the first transgender character to be featured as a playable lead in a AAA game. This marks a crucial step forward for representation in the gaming industry.
Despite its initial mixed reviews upon release, “Tell Me Why” has since garnered numerous prestigious awards, including “Games for Impact” at The Game Awards 2020 and “Outstanding Video Game” from the GLAAD Media Awards, highlighting its social relevance and representation in storytelling. The decision to make “Tell Me Why” free in June aligns well with the gaming community’s ongoing efforts to celebrate Pride Month. Each year, more players are given the opportunity to engage with this impactful and emotional narrative.
Unlike the Epic Games Store, which has a weekly free game program, Steam typically does not frequently offer such promotions. Therefore, users should seize this rare opportunity to access “Tell Me Why” for free. Once the promotional period ends, players will need to purchase the game to continue playing, unless Steam decides to reintroduce it as a free offering in the future. With its emotional storytelling, multidimensional characters, and profound social themes, “Tell Me Why” stands out as one of the most significant gaming experiences to enjoy this June – not only because it is free, but also due to its meaningful narrative.
