Tell Me Why and Twin Mirror

Life Is Strange studio DONTNOD has a pair of narrative adventure games due out in 2020. Launching (in three episodes) this summer for Xbox One and PC is the Microsoft exclusive Tell Me Why (pictured above), a realistic story which follows identical twins as they unravel a mystery about their childhood in small-town Alaska, though they are hindered by disparate memories. One of those twins appears to be the first playable character from a major videogame who is transgender.

The studio is also working on a second 2020 title, though this is where things get confusing. Twin Mirror (coming to PS4, XB1, and PC) is not the game featuring twins. Instead, it's a darker psychological thriller set in West Virginia where a down-on-his-luck journalist, visiting for a funeral, awakens to discover a blood-stained shirt in his hotel room and no memory of the night before.
