Dontnod Entertainment's latest storytelling adventure Tell Me Why was published by Xbox Game Studios and released on Xbox Game Pass earlier this year, and Microsoft wants to know how much you enjoyed it.
Speaking as part of a VentureBeat interview, Peter Wyse, the general manager of publishing at Xbox enthused that Microsoft was "so proud of this game", asking fans to reach out with their opinions.
“If people want more stories like this, I would love to hear that, and if people want more out of this partnership and collaboration, I would love to hear that. We’re so proud of this game. It’s a game that deserves to be seen.”
Wyse also revealed more about the process of Microsoft getting involved with the game, which started around three years ago and saw the company helping Dontnod to adopt a new model of releasing episodes just one week apart.
In the same interview, Dontnod CEO Oskar Guilbert explained that the studio is growing with six games currently in production, with the self-published psychological thriller Twin Mirror set to debut on Xbox One next month.

I would definitely love to see more games like Tell Me Why, although perhaps more fleshed out. I honestly thought that three episodes were a bit too short considering how invested I was in the characters and I wanted to see more interactions between them and the rest of the characters. Not to mention that the ending of the game didn't feel that gratifying. It felt like it could've gone to a more bizarre and interesting direction instead of the one that the developer opted with if they had received a larger budget.
I personally think this was the best game of this type (episodic, story driven) since the first Life Is Strange. At three episodes it was just the right length and didnt overstay its welcome. I'd definitely like to see more MS exclusive games from Dontnod - buy them up MS!
I'm fine with games like this. I just don't play them until all chapters are out.
Absolutely fine with games like this though I didn't gel with this one as much as some of Dontnod's other titles. The story just didn't really go anywhere interesting imho. Characters were well layered though.
I still think the first Life is Strange was the best by a distance. LiS 2 started slow but got better and better until at the end I had a genuine connection to the characters and was moved by the end, but it felt like it took a long time to get there.
Yes! I not sure yet but it looks like the kind of game I can get into.
Honestly I thought the game was going to be SJW fest but the story was so good I finished the game.
I couldn't get past the first 20 minutes. The dialogue was cringe inducing. I dunno, maybe that's just was twenty-somethings talk now, but I immediately hated both the main characters
This was a great game. It had a great story, was a laid back type of game and wasn't crazy long. I would definitely love more games like this in gamepass. I'll be playing the episodic walking dead game once i get my console because of Tell Me Why.
Games like this are perfect for Game Pass.
Really loved Tell me Why and looked forward to the release of each episode. Would love more like this endgame pass. I look forward to checking out more Dontnod games too.
I like games like these, and hope more come.
Mind you, there is plenty out there for me to still play through, I played the original Life is Strange, but never got around to playing the prequel or the sequel, they are in my huge backlog, though.
Honestly, without going into any spoilers, I can see why some might had disliked the ending for Tell me Why, but I found it was perfect. Cant get into it because I cant think how to say it without at least some minor spoilers.
I'm not sure if these games need to be episodic, though. I thought the goal was a budget one, but having all episodes back to back, one week after the other, makes me think they were all ready at the same time.
Yes please! Would love to see more games like this on Game Pass!
@PapaGlitch agree their games are pretty cringy...
@PapaGlitch hey nothing wrong with that. Everyone doesn't have to like every game. That's why this was perfect for gamepass...i wouldn't have ever tried it otherwise.
