More about this game
Guide Jack, his guide dog Zig-Zag, and his friend Penny through three encounters in a Roseville electronics store. At each aisle, a stranger asks an intrusive question about Jack's blindness or his dog. You choose how Jack responds: polite, direct, or with a truth-bomb. Polite answers raise awareness smoothly, while direct and truth-bomb answers defeat Karens and earn Gemma clips but cost Jack's cool. The run ends after three encounters, tallying your public awareness, items collected, and whether you reached the 60 awareness threshold.
Tips
- Polite answers grant 12 public awareness and cost zero cool, leaving the customer with a calm fact instead of a fight.
- Direct answers grant 18 awareness and defeat a Karen, but cost 5 cool from your starting total of 100.
- Truth-bombs grant 25 awareness, defeat a Karen, and earn a Gemma clip, but cost 10 cool for delivering the witty comeback.
Questions
What happens if I run out of cool?
The game allows Jack's cool meter to drop as you use direct or truth-bomb responses, but it will not go below 0. Managing this 100-point resource is part of balancing your dialogue choices.
How do I get Gemma clips?
You earn exactly one Gemma clip each time you choose the 'Truth-bomb' response during an encounter. Getting all three clips requires spending 30 cool across the three aisles.
What items are on the shopping list?
Jack and Penny need to buy three specific items: studio headphones in Aisle 1, a protective phone case in Aisle 4, and a braided guitar cable at the checkout.
