More about this game
In this interactive narrative, you shape how Jack processes a local radio story about a blind man named Mr. Mavis. The core loop involves reading short story beats and selecting dialogue or internal thoughts. Your choices directly adjust hidden emotional values for affirmation, reflection, and presence. The story moves from the kitchen to the garden, where Jack speaks with Matthew. A run ends after eleven story beats, revealing one of three distinct conclusions based on the specific emotional tone you built during the conversation.
Tips
- Every choice grants one or two points toward specific emotional tones, such as affirmation or reflection, which decide the ending.
- To unlock the Seen ending, you must accumulate at least five affirmation points by choosing the most supportive dialogue options.
- If you want the Shared Purpose conclusion, focus your answers on accumulating five reflection points before the eleventh story beat.
Questions
How do I know how far along I am?
Look at the top right corner of the screen. There are three progress dots that fill in as you move from the late afternoon kitchen scene into the fading light of the garden.
How do I get the Quiet Grace ending?
The Quiet Grace ending acts as the default conclusion. You will receive this ending if you finish the story without earning five points in either the affirmation or reflection categories.
Can I turn off the background music?
Yes, you can mute the music at any time. Just tap the circular music note button located in the top right corner of the screen to toggle the audio.
