This was super cool! I just felt like checking out what you guys have been up to since I left uni. That animation at the end was legit super well done!

Also somehow I totally misinterpreted the 'favourite quantity' part and thought that meant the word 'some' as in 'some' being the quantity of compensation. So then I thought it meant I had to add up all the numbers in the phone number and yeah...the real solution was a lot more obviously and I feel like an idiot lol

Super nice to hear from you! And thanks for checking out this game!

We have plans to make an expanded sequel towards the end of this year, so any feedback we can get is beyond useful - don't feel bad about getting confused xD

We'd be open to working with ya again if you ever want to. feel free to message one of us on discord :)

That is so kind of you guys! I really appreciate the offer but to be honest I got into a really bad mental space towards the end of uni so I'm kind of burnt out from working on game related things and I am also trying to keep my energy together to get my freelance business up and running so I don't feel like I'd be able to contribute much. Would love to keep in touch with you guys and all your awesome projects though!

This was a really fun, short experience! It definitely delivered the atmosphere. The pacing of the types of calls was really well done. I could see it expanded into a longer experience with a few more pages to go through and a few more scares to be had!

A video!? Thank you so much!! I have shared it with the team already, its really awesome to see you work through our little game! We may be revisiting this style of game in the future outside of the time restrictions of a game jam, but nothing is certain right now.

Thank you so much for the kind words <3! And a video!!!!

I really really enjoyed playing this game. Can confirm it captures the horrors of having to make phone calls! 10/10 I recommend playing with the lights off and your phone not on silent <3
