Developer Seed by Seed first announced its upcoming game Jump the Track in February, and its first demo launched on May 1 as part of the LudoNarraCon narrative game festival on Steam.
Part visual novel, part arcade game, Jump the Track stars Sam, a gig worker who inadvertently gets caught up in a battle against the cops and corporations wrecking his neighborhood.
Whenever a choice arises, Jump the Track switches to a pachinko board, with certain pegs representing different emotions or actions.
Jump the Track’s pachinko-based dialogue sounds strange but it somehow works.
Seed by SeedThe demo for Jump the Track is quite short, lasting only around 15 minutes.
