i'm the worst customer service rep ðŸ˜
this game was sooooooo goood!!! 1000/10 lore I bought it on PlayStation thank you to puppet combo for making this fantastic game accessible for non-pc games 🥹
I would love to see a sequal to this but instead of being a customer service rep. we become an actual responder to the call and remove the entities.
Dear Night Signal Entertainment,
I am fascinated by "Home Safety Hotline" as a horror game enthusiast due to its expert use of analog techniques to build a suspenseful atmosphere, combined with a complex narrative and innovative gameplay mechanics. I am enthusiastic about contributing to the game's community by offering free English-to-Spanish translation services, aiming to share this captivating experience with a wider audience of Spanish-speaking horror fans unfamiliar with English.
Should you be interested, I can provide further details.

I called in and they told me to leave milk out. I think we have different meaning for the word "milk"
Can someone please tell me the sysyem requirements for this game? I am using my old laptop, i3, intel HD graphics 3000 (this is my main concern...), Windows 10.
Thanks, and I look forward to playing and really hope that I can!!
wanna play this game but i don't got no money:(
havent played it but watched a youtuber play it HALF ASLEEP bro i was scared i took a nap and i kindaaa wanna play this seem so cool but scary I hope game theory makes a vid abt this game i would so love that though anyways pretty cool game might get might not idkkkk BUT i love the work u guys put into this game, also i wont get it cuz i just realized like right now theres no mac download :( but its okay :D also the font is super cool.
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).
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
I had a blast with this game and especially loved how the game mixes a lot of humor with genuinely terrifying concepts and stories.
This was a remarkable game and i seriously hope we get more creative ideas like HSH!
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!
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.
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
