Home Safety Hotline

diz more fun and spooky than "that's not my neighbor"

Home Safety Hotline foi feito com muito amor, dá pra ver nos detalhes! Sabe quando você abre um jogo e consegue imaginar a equipe que fez se divertindo no processo? Gostei muito do tema, que apesar de ter leeeves elementos de terror e comédia, é na verdade muito mais um jogo de fantasia, um conto de fadas pagão-semi-moderno. A experiência é rápida, leve e divertida. Recomendo muito!

I purchased HSH looking for an engaging psych horror game that I could click around on without any extra mechanics (ie maze run minigames), and that is exactly what I got. I love a 90s OS style, and found the UI and graphics very satisfying. I finished the main story same day of purchase. Overall this game is crunchy, mildly disturbing and entertaining. [i]Most importantly, there aren't any cheap jump scares.[/i] All the chills I got were from the consequences of incorrect decisions. The psych horror aspect of this game comes into play when you get the call-backs or the connection goes out.. Gradual unlock of all the information makes the quiz style game-play engaging instead of tedious. Common pests like roaches and fleas prominent early on make easing into the horror aspects easy. The game wants you to take your time thinking through your answers, they don't dump paragraphs of dialogue into the calls, so small details are important, and you aren't on a timer while the caller is on hold. The game is forgiving with certain call-backs that help you learn from mistakes as you go. End of game gives you option of replaying (with extra quality of life features like skipping the brief wait time between calls), and has a 'practice' mini game to help with recall while replaying the main story, instead of having to stare at an index or repeat the same level over and over. As someone who enjoys replaying these kinds of games and unlocking all of the achievements, this is something I really appreciated. Based on the lore I discovered throughout the game, I was underwhelmed with the ending and I feel that $15 is upper end of what I would pay. I got it on sale for $10 and felt that was appropriate, but full price is still worth it if this kind of game is up your alley. I play on Fedora Linux and didn't have to use Proton or anything to play, worked right on install. No issues with crashing, lag etc.
