Phreak36 by socks
** THIS GAME REQUIRES A MICROPHONE TO PLAY **
...or other functional audio input device
If the default device does not work, you may need to change the input device with V before attempting to play.
Phreak36 is a game about phreaking, and getting long-distance telephone calls for free. The goal is to produce a sustained tone at 2600 Hz. The keypad does not work, sorry. :(
You can read more at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phreaking
CONTROLS:
v = Change input device
z/page down = Lower goal frequency
x/page up = Raise goal frequency
Most people (almost everyone) will be unlikely to hit 2600 Hz. Try lowering the goal to ~1600 for a comfortable whistle.
nerds: If you happen to try a blue box or similar out on this, let me know the results (I don't expect it to be good). I understand this is not an authentic representation.
I planned to have a moodier setting, with drizzling rain, an actual background, functioning phone numbers, and maybe some music... but between ambition and excessive relaxation that didn't happen.
I appreciate the feedback. Thanks for playing!
