From now until July 1, Steam users can claim the award-winning narrative game Tell Me Why completely free of charge. Although Steam doesn’t offer a permanent free game program like the Epic Games Store, it still delivers quality giveaways — and this one is worth the download.
A Recurring Pride Month Tradition
This isn’t the first time Tell Me Why has been offered as a freebie. In fact, it’s become something of a tradition for Pride Month, giving players a chance to explore its emotionally powerful story without spending a cent. Notably, Tell Me Why is also free on Xbox, offering accessibility across both major platforms.
About the Game
Developed by Dontnod Entertainment, the studio behind the acclaimed Life is Strange series, Tell Me Why is an episodic adventure game centered around twins Tyler and Alyson Ronan as they investigate the truth behind their mother’s death. The game made headlines for featuring a transgender protagonist, helping it stand out for its representation and inclusive storytelling.
Critical Reception and Awards
While the reviews for Tell Me Why were somewhat mixed, the game still earned critical acclaim for its impact and narrative strength. It won Games for Impact at The Game Awards 2020 and Outstanding Video Game from the GLAAD Media Awards, along with other accolades that reinforce its emotional depth and cultural significance.
Why You Should Add It to Your Library
As with most limited-time offers on Steam, if you miss the window, the game returns to its regular price. So, if you’re even slightly curious, it’s wise to claim Tell Me Why now — it’ll remain yours to keep forever once added to your account.
Steam users eager to expand their game library with something meaningful and story-rich should act quickly — Tell Me Why is free until July 1.
