More about this game
Jack's World: Sound & Soul is an interactive story told in six movements. You guide Jack, a blind guitarist, through his day by making choices based on sound, touch, and human interaction. Each decision awards points in Connection and Orientation, with gains ranging from 4 to 24 points per choice depending on the default settings. The game ends after the sixth movement at 10:47 PM, providing a summary of how you balanced building relationships versus mapping the physical world. The final text changes based on whether your Connection and Orientation scores are within 18 points of each other.
Tips
- Choices that prioritize interacting with people generally award more Connection points.
- Choices that focus on feeling edges, listening to echoes, or mapping the room award more Orientation points.
- Use the speak button if you want the narrator to read the text aloud.
