More about this game
In this messaging drama, you read through a tense family conversation across four chapters, switching perspectives between Mum, Mara, and Ryan. Your goal is to keep Ryan from fleeing Ivytown by managing his stress and the family's trust. Every response you choose shifts these two meters up or down. If a conversation goes poorly, you can tap the timeline to rewind to any unlocked chapter. The run ends after the fourth chapter, revealing one of four possible outcomes based on your final stats.
Tips
- Keep a close eye on the meters; Ryan's stress starts at 62 and family trust begins at 44. You must balance both to succeed.
- If stress gets too high or trust drops too low, tap the numbered nodes to rewind time and pick the alternative dialogue option.
- Aim to get the stress meter below 30 and the trust meter above 65 to unlock the best ending, called Shared Weight.
FAQ
- How do I get the worst endings?
- If Ryan's stress reaches 80 or higher, you trigger The Last Bus ending. If family trust drops below 30, you get the Signal Lost ending where the family line goes cold.
- Can I change my choices if I make a mistake?
- Yes, you can tap any lit node on the timeline at the bottom of the screen to rewind to a previous chapter and make a completely different choice.
- How many endings are there to find?
- There are four possible endings to discover. The outcome depends entirely on your final levels of stress and trust when you finish the fourth and final chapter.
