Rockett's Tricky Decision is a 1998 adventure video game developed by Presage Software and published by Purple Moon. It is for ages 8 and up.[3][4]

Gameplay

Rockett must choose between two Halloween parties, and the player guides her through branching scenes that play out like an interactive movie. At each decision point, the player selects one of three emotional responses—happy, angry, or ambivalent—each triggering a different line from Rockett. Choices can be reversed if the outcome is not preferred. Between story segments, the player may explore a secret hallway containing lockers, the teacher's lounge, and the school newspaper room. Twenty lockers can be checked, and their contents change over time. The player's decisions shape Rockett's path and determine which party she ultimately attends.[3]
