More about this game
Your goal is to guide Lisa through a supermarket without her stress reaching 100%. The core loop involves dodging moving hazards like loud music, fluorescent lights, and crowd pressure, which increase stress on contact. Stress also slowly rises by 0.72% every second you are not resting. To recover, you must stay inside two glowing Safe Havens until they fully charge. The run ends in success if you reach the exit with both havens charged, or fails if Lisa's stress meter fills completely.
Tips
- Release your finger to stop moving instantly if a hazard is approaching your path, as the loud music and flickering lights move in predictable straight lines.
- Each hit from a hazard adds 17% to your stress meter and knocks you back 35 pixels, so prioritize dodging over moving quickly.
- Staying in a Safe Haven lowers your stress by 22% per second, so use them to recover your meter fully before facing the next crowded aisle.
Questions
Why does the screen get blurry and shaky?
The screen becomes blurry and static appears when Lisa's stress meter goes above 72%. The screen also starts shaking when stress passes 60%, simulating sensory overload.
How long do I need to stay in a Safe Haven?
You need to hold still inside a Safe Haven for exactly 2.4 seconds to fully charge it. Once both the Quiet Corner and Low Light havens are charged, the exit opens.
Why is my stress meter going up when I'm not hitting anything?
Lisa's stress passively increases by 0.72% every second you spend outside of a Safe Haven. You must move efficiently between safe zones to prevent the meter from hitting 100%.
