More about this game
Roseville Garden: Echoes is a short interactive story where you guide Jack through a quiet evening in the kitchen and the garden. The core loop involves reading 11 narrative beats and selecting dialogue choices that reflect different tones, specifically affirmation, reflection, and presence. There is no traditional difficulty or fail state; instead, your choices accumulate points. A run ends when you complete the conversation with Matthew in the garden, revealing one of three unique outcomes based on your selected responses.
Tips
- Pay close attention to the tone of your choices, as accumulating 5 affirmation or reflection points directly determines your ending.
- Consistently choosing affirming responses about Mr. Mavis and Matthew will grant affirmation points, leading you to the specific 'Seen' narrative ending.
- Focusing on reflective choices regarding isolation and connection will grant reflection points, guiding you toward the 'Shared Purpose' ending instead of the default outcome.
Questions
How many endings are there?
There are exactly 3 possible endings: Seen, Shared Purpose, and Quiet Grace. The ending you receive depends entirely on the specific tone points you accumulate during the conversation.
How do I get a specific ending?
Endings are determined by accumulating tone points from your choices. For example, getting at least 5 affirmation points unlocks the 'Seen' ending, while 5 reflection points unlocks 'Shared Purpose'.
Who are the characters in the story?
You guide Jack, who listens to a radio report about Mr. Mavis before going to the garden to speak with Matthew. Gemma, Elsie, and a dog named Sunny Two also appear.
