Overall, between contemplative sequences, rather intense moments, reflections on forgiveness, on the concept of family and on self-acceptance, the second chapter of Tell Me Why accompanies us, with sufficient curiosity, at the gates of a final episode called to definitively close the curtain on the tormented history of the Ronan, revealing what is currently the biggest mystery of the game: once the "why" of some events have been discovered, will the two brothers be willing to accept the truth?
After a great start where the setting of the Ronan Twins and the tragedy at home is depicted, Episode two isn't able to live up to the expectations. gameplay consists mostly of doing some chores and even a scene at a police station that should have been thrilling comes down to doing more chores. If you expected Tell Me Why to pick up speed, you'll be disappointed. All in all, not a very good follow-up episode.

After a solid debut chapter, Tell Me Why: Chapter 2 doesn't keep the momentum going. There are pleasant individual character moments between twins Tyler and Alyson Ronan, who remain the undisputed highpoints of the game, but the rest of the cast suffers as a result. Tell Me Why wants to paint an emotional tale of struggle and growth, but Chapter 2's experience is stunted by overuse of the Bond mechanic and the decision-based icon sapping any tension.
When more questions were answered. MANY many more questions needed to be asked when this game. This didn't just stop after chapter one though. This continued even into chapter 2. The more information we got from looking into the past the more questions we needed answered from everyone from our past.
This is honestly how the story kept drawing you in as you made the decisions and choices to talk to everyone in your lives to get more answers. But when they didn't provide them you had to get them yourself. Some answers were humbling. Showing the some people cared more then how they showed you when you first encountered them. But you had to do some sneaking to find these secrets out. Like how Eddy did way more then one either twin knew what he was doing. Some others like Sam still seem to go through a learning process. But in the long run as you work with him through the chapters. You see a man that heart was so hurt and broken from the lose of the twins mother. That he was not sure how to interact with people let alone the twins anymore.
The relationship between Michael the sister of Tyler and Tyler himself continues to be developed in this chapter as well. Which in you felt was going to be a thing from their first encounter. That make it playful which does help the mood a bit more. But in the long run this chapter ultimately falls onto Tessa and the twins going to their mothers grave. It is a heart warming moment that finally gives closure to not only the twins but Tessa as well where it allows them to rebuild the relationship we thought we lost in chapter 1.
But in the long run this don't stop here and we discover that the twins mother. May have actually been hiding more secrets near the end. Ultimately we will have to try and get the twins working together because the strain is to much for Alyson to coup with at the end. This seem to be going back for the twins as Alyson leaves from the pain the visions are bringing her. Are we going to be able to fix the bond or have we split the twins for good?
Honestly this part of the story had me more captivated then the first and hard me much more excited to see the bonds between certain characters become something. This portion of the game gets a 8.5/10 for me and the rating seems to just become more and more impressive as time goes on. I hope this trend does not stop. I want the next section if it is the ending to WOW me more.

Chapter 2 certainly doesnt hold the momentum of chapter 1, but it does bring up enough questions to keep you interested.
The book of goblins continues to be interesting as you take on simple puzzles.
These episodes are short which is nice, only 2.5 - 4hrs each which is perfect.

Just as boring as the first episode. This constant teasing of information about characters you don't care about is aggravating, not suspense building
