The verdict
A charming 80s slasher-homage narrative puzzler where you guide callers to safety from a radio booth. Skip it if you want real gameplay, scares, or can't stand long unskippable dialogue.
Great for
Fans of slasher movies, 80s vibes, voice acting and short cozy narrative mysteries
Main risk
Long, unskippable dialogue and thin gameplay can feel boring and tonally goofy
