More about this game
Your goal is to help Jack reach the store's checkout despite his limited usable vision. You can choose to navigate using a white cane to sweep for hazards or a guide dog that provides directional feedback. As you move, bumping into obstacles increases Jack's anxiety. If you hit three hazards, anxiety becomes too high and you must restart. Trust your mobility tool to find a safe path.
Tips
- In cane mode, sweep frequently to map your surroundings, as the reveal effect only lasts a short time and has a 0.72-second cooldown.
- When using the guide dog, always watch for the green arrow and follow its direction to safely bypass blocked hazards along the way.
- Keep a close eye on the anxiety meter; you can only bump into obstacles 3 times before the run ends and you must restart.
Questions
What is the difference between the cane and the dog?
The cane lets you actively sweep to map nearby hazards within a 390-pixel radius, while the guide dog automatically blocks danger and points you in a safe direction.
Why did the game end suddenly?
If you bump into obstacles 3 times, Jack's anxiety reaches its limit and the run ends. You must navigate carefully to avoid hitting the store displays.
How do I find the checkout?
Keep moving upward through the store. The checkout is a glowing purple area located at the top of the map, and the progress bar shows your distance.
