Home Safety Hotline

The game is very aesthetically pleasing with a great atmosphere, great voice acting definitely adds to it as well. This game is best to play without much prior knowledge, as most of the horror comes from your failure and often severe consequences of it in calls of unsatisfied callers. (Those calls also often give you hints, or outright answers making it easier to get right if you were to replay it to get 100% accuracy.) It’s not where all horror comes from, but the majority of the rest are implications which some might skip over or not think so much of. You need to get pretty involved due to that, the game has a definitely more subtle approach to horror, which is a type of horror that I prefer. So if you’re more into more explicit horror it might not be for you. The game is also rather quick, but it’s also advertised as such, so not much surprise there. Small-ish rant, but I also really appreciate setting that allow you for example to censor pictures that might trigger some common phobias (like arachnophobia or scopophobia ), some might see it as counterproductive, but phobias don’t really create the sense of fear that most horror is going for, but more of panic, at milder cases it might be high anxiety at stronger ones full on panic attacks and can be very dangerous. And exposing people to their phobias (especially in horror) might worsen them. It’s more likely to make someone quit the game and never play again than to invest them in horror and a lot of horror, like this game, requires investment. As someone who has quit games due to realistic spiders before, I really appreciate that I didn’t have to ever worry about seeing one. For now I’m giving myself time to forget all (or at least most of) the answers and hopefully pick up the title again soon, sadly my first time playing was after watching a playthought so I kinda knew the answers, but I definitely enjoyed the game regardless (probably less than if i played it before watching anything) and I definitely recommend this if you enjoy this kind of game ^_^

Этой игре необходимо DLC с гномами х**крадами

I really enjoyed this game! A fun concept, great voice acting, and really cool art! I very much recommend checking out this game. The mechanics are easy to understand and while there are a little bit of tricks sprinkled throughout the gameplay, it's an "open book" game.

While there are some inventive ideas toyed with here, the run time is exceptionally short, in part because of the voice acting, which is inconsistent at times. Because the various calls use voice acting, there's no way for the team to effectively make multiple puzzles in a way so days can play out differently. This choice cascades in ways that hinders the game, reducing the replayability and generally holding the game back from something I would revisit or recommend.

My boss sent me home because I was "too sick" to be working. Fine. Guess I'll spend my PTO playing a game about working for a supernatural pest control hotline. No regrets!

Fun and unique horror game that takes inspirations from folklore and analog horror, overall I would recommended but not for it's standard price I feel 5-7$ is a more fair price for the length and content provided.

cozy 90s analog horror played through this and the dlc a while back and while i’ve played a lot of other stuff since then this is a game that i still think about. you will spend most of your time reading through a catalogue/bestiary that will grow with each new shift so id recommend this if you enjoy reading about monsters. you have an unlimited amount of time with each call and some can be harder than others but you never feel rushed. only con is the overarching story is a bit silly but it doesn’t take away from the really cool vibe this game has.

Underrated horror game. The atmosphere and the vibe is super well done. Fun reading sim with a good dlc to. Just in general very fun to figure out what monster to pick. very underrated

good game, has a computer in it

verry funnny
