Unfortunately, no matter what I did or how many times I restarted the game there was no way to get past 4 calls (including the obligatory first police call) and having to close and reopen the game (even in the downloaded version) to try again was frustrating. Hopefully I'm just too dense to figure it out?
We do have a bug (listed in the Known Bugs) that if you choose the wrong option you'll have to restart the game.
I've downloaded and played the game again and it seems to be working fine, so make sure you've chose the right answer! (In that 4th one, in specific)
All I can say is if you want to extend this more, do make people ease in the puzzles because I think I know some people won't easily find the solution.
Great work! Definitely a recommendation for puzzle solvers.
Really engaging as other people said^^
The one thing I would add would be some feedback (even just a sound) when you compose a "good" telephone number, and when you compose an non-existant one; just to have a direct an explicit information that you did it correctly or not !
Great job on this ! Bravo to you^^
The UI is very simple but it creates a deep atmosphere. The audio fit well with this kind of games, but it's too repetitive. I would like more variation, specially during revelation phase.
The phone is little bit too small, it's not easy to click on digits.
The story is great and I enjoyed the investigation.
Welldone !
