My Friend & I really enjoyed this game.  Such incredible work and I can't wait to see what you make next!

I really enjoyed the game and acting like a telephone operator sometimes. I would definitely recommend this game and what a great ending also.

This is by far one of my favorite series I have played. I was trying so hard not to play on my off time so I can record/stream it. XD I'm obsessed!

So I just want to say that I loved this game a lot. I was waiting for it after the Demo came out.
I played and streamed the game translating it in Italian (also I read out loud all the creatures translating them in Italian, video will come out soon) beacause I think it deserves to be known.
I could feel the love and the passion put into the game and loved the special features at the end that explained how everything was created.
Thanks for this horror game, I think it will be my best of the year (I know it just started but such quality is had to beat).

HAD TOO MUCH FUN!! I DIDNT EVEN GET TO WEDNESDAY BEFORE I GOT FIRED LOL!!

is this the full version?, if i remember it right there was an old demo or something of it

The FitnessGram™ Pacer Test is a multistage aerobic capacity test that progressively gets more difficult as it continues. The 20 meter pacer test will begin in 30 seconds. Line up at the start. The running speed starts slowly, but gets faster each minute after you hear this signal. [beep] A single lap should be completed each time you hear this sound. [ding] Remember to run in a straight line, and run as long as possible. The second time you fail to complete a lap before the sound, your test is over. The test will begin on the word start. On your mark, get ready, start.

i hate doing this but ok

This game is well worth the price, it’s hand-crafted, no AI crap, you get proper voice acting, amazing writing and gorgeous visuals and sound design. Above all, the gameplay is super fun and engaging. Think of old-school call center support but in a world full of weird entities, phenomena and creatures. 

I had a blast with this game and especially loved how the game mixes a lot of humor with genuinely terrifying concepts and stories.

Hi there! Really cool game :) If you'd like, I can translate it to Spanish 

A very interesting game and one I been wanting to get to!

Starts off as normal household issues and then ramps up to the weird

The calls are entertaining and then the random "prank" calls I adore!

For me, took me a second as I really had to read the call and the descriptions of the cases as time went on because sometimes one clue will spark the choice

Having fun though! It's been fun and looking forward to seeing what crazy issues call in as the week progresses! 

We are at it again! Wednesday and now getting into the weird!

Okay, found the most adorable entity, squid soap! Still having a blast playing!

I loved the theme of this video and realized at the end that a lot of the lore is in the world/realm of the Fae! I have never played a video game like this and it was delightful! I really enjoyed the surprise ending. I just had to giggle and found myself dancing as well. I am going to play through this again just to troll the callers cause its hilarious when you give them the wrong answer and they call back.

I adored this. Immaculate nostalgic vibes and a super fun premise. I was smacking myself after each incorrect submission--there is ALWAYS a clue as to what's really going on. The little extra goodies, like the trail video, were a pleasure to watch. Can't say enough good things.

When I played the demo i knew the game was gonna be great but my expectations were blown out of the water with the full release!!!

Prefect balance between comedy and dread all the voice actors did a amazing job

Only issue i have is that there were no calls about warlock remnants Other than that my favorite game of 2024 So far will be pretty hard to beat the joy I got from playing this !

This was such a good game! I love everything from the lore to the little tiny details such as the desktop and nostalgic sounds! The voice acting was great as well! I can't wait for your next project! Check out my first gameplay! I made a fanmade intro to add to the immersion! 


Great game!

Loved putting my Customer Service skills to the test! :D

Great game idea. If you ever make a sequel, you should consider not only including other culture's folklore (Japanese folklore has a lot of wacky creatures) but also how local folkcreatures would interact with invasive folkcreatures that would be introduced since the invention of steam ships and fast intercontinental transit.

I know I'm just "ideas guying" right now, but there could also be something with different corporate cultures clashing mixed with how different old pagan cultures deal with their "duende"? Something like international mergers or something?

It feels like this is just scratching the surface of what could be done and I hope more of this quality work is done in the future.

This is a pretty good game. It's fully voice acted which is pretty rare for a game made by a small studio and has a really neat premise. Plus all the lore is really cool and the dark humor is pretty good. The ending I caught me off guard, but it made since once I started looking at things in greater detail. My only complaints are the gameplay was a little too minimalistic and some puzzles were a bit obtuse. So I had to Google a few solutions. Other than that I really enjoyed it and I'm looking forward to more this developer.

Anyways here's a live stream I did, use it as a try before you buy guide. Any likes and comments are appreciated
