It's actually a great app if you're working in a call center or IT department. I see a lot of potential for pranks in this... But enough with my evil plans directed at my co-workers.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>People might be fooled by the austere interface of the game, but it's actually perfectly coherent with the game.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>There's a connection between you and the people you scam. At least that's what I felt. I would love to play an enhanced version with more in-depth conversation, get attached to their personality. And then just scam them!\r<br\/>The summary at the end was a really nice touch. I felt even more connected to them. Like, my choice had consequences to this people.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Like you can imagine, I really liked you game. Consider me a fan. It reminded me of @oujevipo's game &quot;Never Alone Hotline&quot; (http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-22\/?action=preview&amp;uid=1874), but in a more dicky way.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>\r<br\/>You monster."},{"author_name":"chikun Dev Team","author_uid":"29857","time":"Aug 25, 2015 @ 12:13pm","epoch":1440504480,"text":"Hey, if you guys want to access the secret levels in this game, just forward your SSN, credit card number, and home address to my email.

This is top tier quality stuff.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I really, really, liked your concept, and your execution was flawless. It really gave me that 1998 feeling, and the webpage (that's a lot of extra effort) really adds to it. I didn't really like punching in so many credit card numbers, which I felt was a bit unneccesary, but it's fine. The conversations were amusing and it really carried its sense of humor\/a bit of darkness too.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Definitely the most creative game I've played so far and I'll be surprised if this doesn't get top 10."},{"author_name":"GertJohnny","author_uid":"22774","time":"Aug 25, 2015 @ 11:37pm","epoch":1440545520,"text":"Neat idea!
