More about this game
Jones Way: The Right Way is an interactive drama where you play as Jack, mediating a conflict between Sally and Lisa. Your goal is to reach 64% comfort for Lisa and 58% receptiveness for Sally. You read the current situation and select from three dialogue choices. Each choice impacts Lisa's comfort, Sally's receptiveness, and Jack's composure. The game ends after five beats, giving you a debrief on how well you managed the intervention. You start with comfort at 62%, receptiveness at 28%, and composure at 82%.
Tips
- Prioritize Lisa's comfort above all else; choices that demand masking or rush her will lower it by up to 17 points.
- Look for choices that offer concrete alternatives to help increase Sally's receptiveness by up to 17 points in a single turn.
- Avoid lecturing or piling on mistakes, as this makes Sally defensive, lowering her receptiveness by 9 points and dropping composure by 7.
