More about this game
In Ivytown: Broken Signals, you step into a tense family group chat where every message matters. Your goal is to guide the conversation to keep Ryan from running away. As you read through the perspectives of Mum, Mara, and Ryan, you must select responses that balance Ryan's stress and the family's trust. The game ends when you reach the final chapter, with four different outcomes depending on your choices.
Tips
- Keep an eye on the stress and trust meters; high stress or low trust leads to bad endings.
- Don't be afraid to use the timeline at the bottom to rewind to a previous chapter if things go wrong.
- Try to unlock all four endings by experimenting with different combinations of responses.
Questions
How do I get the best ending?
To reach the 'Shared Weight' ending, you need to keep Ryan's stress at or below 30 and the family trust at or above 65 by the end of the game.
What happens if Ryan's stress gets too high?
If Ryan's stress reaches 80 or higher, you will trigger 'The Last Bus' ending, where he runs away from home.
Can I change my choices?
Yes, you can tap any lit node on the timeline at the bottom of the screen to rewind to that specific chapter and make a different choice.
