More about this game
What's a Stick? is a narrative game where you shape the retelling of a family joke across five distinct memories. As a singer performing under string lights, you choose how to frame a story about grabbing your uncle's cane when you were two. The core loop involves reading dialogue, reviewing contextual stage notes, and selecting one of three responses. Every selection secretly builds one of five personality traits, such as empathy or humor. The run ends after the fifth chapter, revealing a unique reflection based on your highest trait score.
Tips
- Read the stage notes carefully before choosing. They provide crucial context about how a seemingly harmless joke might leave someone out of their own story.
- Think about the underlying tone of your choices. Selecting options that prioritize Jack's perspective will heavily increase your listening and empathy trait scores.
- The text reveals at a default speed of 18, and choices delay for 180 milliseconds. Wait for the shifting memory text to finish before proceeding.
FAQ
- How is my final ending determined?
- The game tracks five hidden traits: curiosity, listening, warmth, humor, and empathy. The trait you select the most across the five chapters determines which of the five unique reflections you receive at the end.
- Can I turn off the background music?
- Yes, you can tap the circular sound icon in the top right corner of the top bar to mute or resume the acoustic guitar background music at any time.
- How long does one playthrough take?
- A single run is very brief, consisting of exactly five chapters with one choice each. You can easily replay the game by tapping 'Remember again' to explore different dialogue paths.
