Whoa, this is strangely beyond engaging for me. I'm really into the presentation, as simple as it all is (the sound design is phenomenal) and I found the mechanic of dialing worked really well for propelling me forward through the story.

Unfortunately, no matter what I did or how many times I restarted the game there was no way to get past 4 calls (including the obligatory first police call) and having to close and reopen the game (even in the downloaded version) to try again was frustrating. Hopefully I'm just too dense to figure it out?

Hey there @threeli, thank you for playing our game!

We do have a bug (listed in the Known Bugs) that if you choose the wrong option you'll have to restart the game.

I've downloaded and played the game again and it seems to be working fine, so make sure you've chose the right answer! (In that 4th one, in specific)

I have to stress how much I want to play around in this aesthetic world, but for the life of me I can't seem to figure out what to do for that call. I will try a few more times haha.

Looks like you know the web link doesn't work, interesting idea though!

Yeah oddly engaging. Good job.

I finished the game. Man that is sooo good. I feel you could make a whole investigation game out of this alone! It's pretty clever how you handed out the documents too. I was not obvious at first but definitely the way to progress.

All I can say is if you want to extend this more, do make people ease in the puzzles because I think I know some people won't easily find the solution.

Great work! Definitely a recommendation for puzzle solvers.

Cute narrative game!

Really engaging as other people said^^

The one thing I would add would be some feedback (even just a sound) when you compose a "good" telephone number, and when you compose an non-existant one; just to have a direct an explicit information that you did it correctly or not !

Great job on this ! Bravo to you^^

It's an intense experience ! This game remember me "her story". The UI is very simple but it creates a deep atmosphere. The audio fit well with this kind of games, but it's too repetitive. I would like more variation, specially during revelation phase. The phone is little bit too small, it's not easy to click on digits.

The story is great and I enjoyed the investigation.

Welldone !

Very unique compared to a lot of other games I have played. I like the contact and document management features you included. Speed dialing from the contact list was great.

Nice. My only complaint would be that I wish I could advance the dialogue by clicking; I am a rather quick reader and found the pace of the conversations to drag along a bit. Still fun though :)

super atmospheric! At first the first document had me stumped but when I realized what to do, it was amazing. Great presentation and interesting story!
