Liked this. Used to work in call centres for most my 20s - F*****g hated it and I got the sense of weighted cringe and anxiety through the options - Each being next to mesaningless and the BS of management with the KPI's.
Bravo!
Thank you for playing, glad you connected with it on some level :)
completely hooked from the start! loved how real the dialogue and label for each caller felt lol. super fun to play! i think i'll worry about that kid for a while
Thank you for playing, and for sharing your thoughts! Very happy to hear you enjoyed it :)
I'm someone who generally doesn’t enjoy narrative-driven games, especially those without visuals. Yet, this game somehow pulled me in completely. Its world-building and writing were so immersive that I stayed engaged all the way to the end, eager to see how the story unfolded. It’s exceptionally well written, with storytelling that genuinely stands out. 🐸
Thank you, Pano!
This game is sooo well written! It was so fun to play!
But now i'm super worried for that one person :(
Thank you! Appreciate the kind words. I was going for more worry but I ran out of time to build it up further, haha.
