More about this game
Experience three chapters of Jack's life, relying on sound and touch. In the first chapter, react to Sunny's alerts by tapping the correct side within a 700-millisecond window. Next, keep the beat at 82 BPM by tapping and holding the rhythm pad. Finally, swipe left or right to make narrative choices that shape Jack's legacy. Your decisions affect your Harmony and Impact scores, which determine the final ending once all three chapters are complete.
Tips
- Watch the shrinking rings in the sports chapter; you have a 700-millisecond window to tap the correct side for 8 success points.
- In the music chapter, time your taps to the 82 BPM tempo and hold for exactly 520 milliseconds on gold rings.
- Narrative choices directly alter your stats; for example, prioritizing care over winning adds 2 Harmony and 10 Impact.
Questions
How do I get a better ending?
Your ending depends on your final stats. Reaching 70 Impact or 70 Harmony unlocks specific legacy text at the end of the game.
What happens if I miss a sports cue?
If you tap the wrong side or miss the 700-millisecond timing window, you lose 2 Harmony points and a gold burst appears.
How does the rhythm section work?
You must tap the pad when the riff hits the ring. You need to hold the pad for at least 520 milliseconds when the ring turns gold.
