More about this game
In this interactive drama, you play as Jack, mediating a tense conversation between Lisa and Sally. Your goal is to keep Lisa's comfort above 64 and Sally's receptiveness above 58. Read the dialogue and choose from three responses in each of the five beats. Your choices directly impact the three relationship meters. The run ends after the fifth beat, where you receive a debrief based on your final meter scores and the boundaries you set.
Tips
- Prioritize Lisa's comfort over Sally's demands. Choosing options that validate Lisa's autonomy and give her space can boost her comfort meter by up to 13 points in a single beat.
- Avoid aggressive responses that attack Sally or list her mistakes. While they might protect Lisa, they can drop Sally's receptiveness by 7 to 12 points, ruining your chances of success.
- Use the reflection button if you are unsure of what to do. It provides a helpful coaching observation based on the current situation to guide your next dialogue choice.
Questions
How do I get the best ending?
You need to finish the five beats with Lisa's comfort at 64 or higher and Sally's receptiveness at 58 or higher. Focus on validating boundaries and offering concrete alternatives to reach this goal.
What happens if Lisa's comfort drops too low?
If Lisa's comfort ends below 50, the debrief will advise you to pause, repair, and try again. Protection is the first priority before trying to educate others in the conversation.
What do the three meters mean?
The meters track Lisa's comfort, Sally's receptiveness to learning, and Jack's composure. Every dialogue choice you make will raise or lower these values based on the subtext and tone of your response.
