More about this game
You step into a living room to confess a childhood wound across an 8-beat visual novel. As you reveal the story of Harvey, you make three dialogue choices. Each choice carries a specific tone—Raw Vulnerability, Sharp Analysis, or Protective Empathy—impacting the emotional resonance of six listeners. The listeners start with base reactions between 30 and 48. The run ends after the eighth beat, where your final average resonance score unlocks one of three conclusions.
Tips
- Raw Vulnerability choices grant the highest resonance boost of 10 points, specifically affecting Jack, Lisa, and Sunny Three.
- Protective Empathy choices offer a balanced 8-point resonance increase and specifically improve the understanding of Lisa, Leena, and Sunny Three.
- To reach the highest ending tier, The Room Sees Him, you need a final average resonance score of 68 percent or higher.
FAQ
- How many choices do I make in the story?
- You make exactly three choices during the 8-beat story. These branching decisions occur on beats two, four, and six, pausing the narrative until you select a response.
- What do the different choice tones do?
- Raw Vulnerability, Sharp Analysis, and Protective Empathy each increase your resonance score by different amounts (10, 5, and 8 points respectively). They also trigger a reaction pulse and affect different specific characters in the room.
- How many endings are there?
- There are three possible endings depending on your final resonance score. You get The Room Sees Him for 68 or above, A Shared Understanding for 52 to 67, and The Truth Lingers for anything below 52.
