More about this game
In this interactive narrative, you guide Brendan and Cody through a difficult conversation when an estranged family member arrives in the rain. Your goal is to reach a strong ending by raising both Boundary and Child Safety meters to 72. You read the dialogue and select Firm, Angry, or Compassionate responses. Each choice shifts the meters based on the tone. The run ends after the final conversation scene, giving you one of three possible outcomes based on your final meter scores.
Tips
- Firm choices are best for increasing your Boundaries meter, granting a gain of 15 points to help you reach the 72-point goal.
- Avoid Angry responses when possible, as they carry a Child Safety cost of 12 points and frighten the young girl.
- Compassionate choices provide a 17-point gain to Child Safety, which is crucial for protecting the child during tense moments.
Questions
How do I get the best ending?
To unlock the strong ending, you must raise both the Boundaries and Child Safety meters to at least 72 points by the end of the conversation.
What happens if my scores are lower?
If you reach 60 Boundaries and 52 Safety, you get a clear ending. Falling below these thresholds results in an unsteady threshold ending where the boundary is poorly communicated.
Can I change my choices?
You cannot undo a choice once selected. You must finish the current episode and click the Replay Episode button at the end to try a different conversational path.
