Players find themselves in a small room with a telephone switchboard. They must complete the correct cord circuits to connect calls. In doing so they can listen in on the different conversations and uncover the unsettling secrets that make up a larger mystery.

I'd give it 6/10. Pros: - Pretty cool/unique concept. - Engaging story-line. - Creepy atmosphere. - Free. Cons: - Buggy (menu bugs, plug sometimes clips through panel, don't drop important stuff). - Shoddy voice acting. - Storyline did not have closure imo. Why am I in the room? Who am I? Why am I listening? Why are these events happening in town? I couldn't read the note at the end through my rift on LQ graphics, so I took a screen shot and decoded it in paint. Even with the note, the intent of the game is still not obvious. - Not sure if there is a logical way to solve the puzzle to tap the next call. You won't know how to do it till you get it by accident a few separate times. First time I played I tried every port, then gave up assuming I was missing something. Lots of other distractions in the room too. Later I figured it out by watching my gf play.
You're on a switchboard, listening in on calls between various citizens of a town called Gateway. Something sinister is going on there and the story unravels the more you hear. See if you can figure out where to plug in for the next snippet of information or hang up and you have to start over. It's remarkably unsettling and I found myself turning around constantly in dread of what might be there. Odds are, you will too... The graphics are quite good, it's short, and it's free, so if you want to check up something creepy, give it a go.

Good....I guess...Idk. The ending confused me a bit. Definetly worth a play through since A) it's Horror B) Decent Story (until the ending imo) C) it's Free....overall it's a 6/10 but a few changes here and there and I can see this being a 7 or 8/10 Pros -Good atmosphere but at no point was I really scared because I knew it was just that..atmosphere..that's just me though. -Voice acting is good...so I wasn't cringing when people talked -Story is interesting, though I'm not sure about the ending...maybe it went over my head -Game mechanics were solid Problems/complaints -the Sppoky things that keep happening seem to be on a cycle and after 5-10min you get repeats of the events. Makes me go, oh that again... -why does not hanging up cause a game over? I felt no urgency to hang up as I was checking out why the room was turning red then bam I lost for being curious. -My left had was invisible but usable, that was weird. -At the end I felt like I accomplished nothing and that I was just along for the ride...whatever the mystery was..I didn't solve it but the game thinks I did, maybe if we had to make a choice that we only won if we "solved the mystery" -Are these calls a mixture of the past and present or something...which I am somehow able to listen to whenever I want..who knows For those having trouble with finding calls [spoiler]It's like old school mine sweeper, you want 0 interferance so just keep moving the jack in the direction of lower numbers of interference[/spoiler]
Wspaniale, kolejny unreal engine i kolejna optymalizacja ssie. Nie ma tu nic nadzwyczajnego a chodzi dziadowsko i topornie. Do tego ta tragicznie zrobiona ręka bez większych animacji zginania palcami. ( jedna bo druga jest niewidzialna... możesz chwytać wszystko nią , ale jej nie widać , taka magia) Siedzisz przy biurku z centralką, fpsy spadają nawet do 9 przy ruchu głowy i machasz ręką manekina. No ubaw w chooj. taki dreszczowiec , że się posrałem.
awesome! scary... i dont think there is any rhyme or reason to the way you plug in the phone cord but it really felt realistic and immersive.... one of the best horror games ive played in awhile albeit a short one....
its simple and freaky
Is it scary? Yes. Is it super confusing? Also yes
This is a really good game I finish it in 35 minutes. I don't know why but it made me think at the series Stranger Things. Really good horror atmosphere without screamer. I like it.
Игра "Hang Up" — это атмосферная головоломка с элементами психологического триллера. Задача — разгадывать загадки, чтобы спасти персонажа, застрявшего в опасной ситуации. Графика мрачная, но детализированная, а звуковое сопровождение усиливает напряжение. Механика проста, но требует внимательности: каждая подсказка важна. Минус — некоторые уровни слишком сложны без подсказок. Подойдет любителям интеллектуальных вызовов, но новичкам может показаться запутанной. В целом — увлекательно, но не для всех.
Ending didnt make sense
