The final episode was absolutely my favorite, and I think it cements Tell Me Why as my favorite Dontnod game. I finally was able to sit down and complete the game. Adding it might not have been problematic, but it probably would be worse for the game. There should be stories about uncomfortable themes of violent transphobia too, but getting deep into the nitty gritty of transphobia would have been distracting overkill for this type of story. And it plays a small role as a red haring in the page turning mystery backdrop. It plays a large functional role in the primary theme of the game, which is separation and reconnection, balancing out a little bit of the blame in cause for separation, and causing friction with reconnecting to the community the sister is attached to. It plays a huge role in a DONTNOD story when it's a grounded realistic character trait making him relatable to people like me and unique to others. But I think it makes total sense for them to include a trans character to tell the type of story they wanted to tell, and they did right by it while doing so. I'd feel a little icky if this was them just wanting to get trans sales by being a by the numbers safe inclusion of a trans person, and I can understand if she got that impression. But that's obviously not paint by number safety, that's bold commitment to style. Like, I feel from that review she'd find it boring in previous games where you're encouraged to sit for a long time and listen to a specific song as the camera pans around a slice of life panorama. That's not putting it in bubble wrap out of fear and making it boring, just translating it to the DONTNOD style. Mostly I wonder if Dia Lacina isn't a big DONTNOD fan in general, because their games have always had a real comfy feel to them and a much bigger focus on the smaller interpersonal true to life drama than the big mystical dramatic mystery that serves as its backdrop to add just a spice of page turning motivation. Click to shrink.Not the person you're asking but i have similar experience and have been thinking about that review a lot while playing it.
