Tell Me Why

A nicely told little interactive story with excellent acting, writing, and set design. It can drag on a bit, so don't expect any ... excitement. Even its moments of big drama are mostly subdued. The core gameplay loop is walking around, looking at objects, and having some conversations with "choices matter" decisions.

Some annoyances: I'm baffled that the designers felt they needed to make this into a "game" with silly mini-games and inconsequential puzzles. They add nothing. And it's especially annoying that during your playthrough you cannot skip anything: click on something twice by mistake and you have to wait for a few minutes as the whole thing repeats. Not great game design.
