The video game that made me feel seen as a trans person Ceridwen Millington
Now is the perfect time to play 2020's story-driven adventure game Tell Me Why: in honour of Pride month, it's currently free to download. Developer Don't Nod's tale follows a trans man returning to his childhood home and confronting his family's past. A major video game that centres any trans character is a rarity to celebrate, but Tyler Ronan doesn't feel tokenistic; he is part of a mature and complex story. Tell Me Why feels like a necessary counterbalance to a wider climate that seems desperate to make gender-diverse people feel marginalised and forgotten. Tyler, a trans man, and his twin cisgender sister, Alyson, spend much of the game exploring the mysteries behind their mother's death.
