Controls:
Numpad to dial the demon's phone number
Credits: Lianne Booton did everything except music.
On the theme:
I used the theme to create a game that uses the narratives from two of my other games, as well as their characters, to bring them together with a new character. I also used characters from my paintings in this world.
The very basic premise is that you are teaching dogs to slay demons through prank calls. The demons are the bad energy formed from Josiah's former victims, when they are slain you free their soul to be reborn.
Extras:
Through slaying demons you will gain pages for your karmic codex, as well as items that will show up in the gift room. Some of those items will provide buffs. Yes you can unlock a puppy, no I won't tell you how :p

My only complaint (and this is a very subjective one) is that I had to look at the keypad while typing and so missed out on a lot of the awesome visuals. But this is my fault really for not being able to touch type...
Anyway, superb work. One of my favourites so far.
If you see the fire particles above the scramble it means you got it and can move on.
My only issue is that I'd love some kind of windowed mode option - Alt+Enter doesn't work.
Innovation++
And yeah, amazing graphics of course. I have to say I truly loved it.

The audio part is crazy too (don't mention the funny backstory), but I think the gameplay lacks of something: it gets too repetitive/tedious unfortunately (maybe I'm missing something....).
