More about this game
In this interactive story, you play as the Stabilizer supporting Jack after the Stair Incident. Your goal is to help him recover while maintaining his personal agency. Across exactly five scenes, you select dialogue options that adjust Jack's Agency score, which starts at 52, and the Trope Meter, which begins at 18. The run ends after the fifth scene. Your final outcome depends on keeping his Agency high and the Trope Meter low, avoiding the rescuer pose.
Tips
- Avoid choices that take over the situation or narrate his feelings, as they can increase the Trope Meter by up to 20 points and lower his agency.
- Look for options that ask Jack questions or give him choices, like offering a menu of options, to boost his Agency score by 14 to 16 points.
- Keep an eye on the Trope Meter; if it reaches the threshold of 55, the number turns red as a warning to change your conversational approach.
