More about this game
Experience Emma's first year in this interactive storybook. You read through five specific scenes set in months one, three, six, nine, and eleven. In each scene, you must make a choice between two actions. Every decision adds a base of 12 points plus a 3-point memory bonus to your Bonding Meter, contributing to one of three stats: Rhythm, Misty, or Voice. The goal is to reach the 75-point target by her first birthday. The run ends after the fifth choice, revealing a final keepsake and birthday scene based on your highest accumulated stat.
Tips
- Each choice adds exactly 15 points to your Bonding Meter, meaning five choices perfectly hit the 75-point birthday goal.
- Focus your choices on a single theme, such as Rhythm or Misty, to guarantee that specific ending keepsake at the birthday party.
- Pay attention to the memory text that appears after each choice, as it explains how your specific decision impacted Emma and Jack's day.
