More about this game
What's a Stick? is an interactive story told across 5 distinct memories. You play as a singer recounting a family joke about a cane, exploring how a simple object is perceived by different people. The goal is to choose dialogue options that shape the tone of the memory. The core loop involves reading a short passage, reviewing a stage note that provides context, and selecting one of three responses. Your choices build hidden traits like empathy, listening, curiosity, humor, and warmth. The run ends after the fifth memory, where the trait you favored most determines the final reflection text.
Tips
- Choices are tied to specific traits like curiosity, listening, warmth, humor, and empathy, so choose responses that align with the tone you want.
- The trait you build the most determines the final reflection text, with empathy being the default if there is a tie.
- Take your time to read the stage notes for extra context before choosing, as they offer insight into the underlying themes.
