My biggest regret of the jam is that I didn't play this before ratings ended. What an absolute treat this was! It's a very rare gift to be able to actually do comedy well, but that's exactly what you have here.
Congratulations on your rankings and on a job well done!
Thank you so much! We had some great writers in Ben and Azeem, who did a great job on the script. I'm glad you liked it!
Wow! This is so exceptional well made and unique. I really enjoyed every second of it. The humor was really right up my alley. It somehow reminded me of the classics from Lucas Arts. Please continue making games :) Easy 5 out of 5
ahhhh thank you so much!! That's so kind of you :))) I don't think anyone can really stop me from making more games at this point so don't you worry about that :D
Just being honest. Keep up the good work! :)
The voice acting is off the charts on this one! And I love the humor too.
Thank you so much!
This game has so much character to it, the writing and goofy voice acting--it's all great! Hope you continue with this concept!
Thanks for the kind words!
You had me at "hell-o"
Clever idea & script, great voice acting, loved it ^.^
Thank you!
This game gave me a few good laughs; Reminds me of a cross between The Good Place and Simulacra.
There was a clever Easter Egg that I really enjoyed; which I will write in backwards to not spoil for anyone (oɿɘz ɘnin tʜϱiɘ nɘvɘƨ xiƨ ɘviʇ ɿυoʇ ɘɘɿʜt owt ɘno ϱnilɒib γd tnɘϱA AIƆ ɘʜt moɿʇ ϱninnυɿ γυϱ ɘʜt ϱnibniʇ).
Also, shout out to the voice actors; they did a great job delivering their lines!
Thanks for the kind words! I'm gonna be honest I have no idea how to read that but I think I see an acronym in there that gives me an idea of what it was that you found :)
Nice catch, barkunjgames!
Easter egg spoiler: There is also special audio if you enter in (oɹǝz oʍʇ ɹnoɟ).
I'm glad you found that one! I tried to think of what people might enter as 3 digit numbers and figured I'd be remiss not to add something there ;D
Soooo, I haven't played through that many entries yet (planning to try and play as many as possible) but I'm fairly confident this is gonna wind up as my overall favourite! :D I really love it, haha.
I'm a huuuuge fan of audio-focused experiences/games + of voice acting in general! The voice acting in this is absolutely top notch :3 The general story/concept is amusing, and I laughed out loud during the last call I made x3
I can see myself replaying this <3
Thanks so much for the kind words! Katherine Tole was the main force behind the voice acting, and she is absolutely amazing at it, a real professional. You can find more of her work here https://katherine-tole.itch.io/ and here https://twitter.com/kgtole if you like! She's a big fan of game jams so she works on a lot of small indie teams :)
Thanks for being an awesome hype man Ezra! I do indeed love to work on game jams so let me know if you want to work together in the future!
That's awesome stuff! :3 I'm a huuuuge voice acting fan, haha, so anything I ever make will have voice acting in, cos to me, it's what breathes life into a project :D Got a lot of respect for voice actors! You did an amaing job with this :3 Keep on being epic!
Somehow I managed to miss this >.< but I just saw it now, haha. Thanks for making such a fun little experience :3 Appreciate the links <3
I love all the quirky little secrets you put into it! Awesome work.
Thank you! This game was basically an excuse to cram something full of stupid jokes, glad you found them :)
This game feels like "The Bad Place" from "The Good Place" and this is great! :D I can see Bad Janet acting just like one of those characters at work. Good job, great experience!
I'm so glad that came through! The good place (and the bad place within it) was definitely an inspiration for us when we were making this!
Wonderful game! I truly felt dead inside :)
Thanks! haha :)
Fun game. I forgot what number I was supposed to dial once and had to redo the whole thing but other than that I liked it.
Thanks! We struggled with how much hand-holding we wanted to do. On the one hand, we wanted it to feel a little frustrating, as the theme is customer service, but we didn't want to make anyone actually miserable. I hope it was the first and not the second for you :)
Really fun game, loved the voice acting as well. Good job!
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it :) :)
Not a real "horror" game, but a good humorous one!
The operating system of your smartphone is well made, I thought that I was on my phone :D
Very novel submission, with there was a score I could give it for originality!

That was really fun to play :) Some good comedy. Well done!
Thank you!
That's fun. Enjoyed the voice acting moments and cheeky humor. Wish it was even more hell themed, but reminded me of the good place.
Thanks! We definitely talked about the good place as an inspiration when we were writing the script :)
I certainly wouldn't say scary, but definitely a unique game! Some generally funny movements with good voice acting! Not much of a "game" per say but definitely an experience
Thanks! We were definitely going for a comedy ~experience~ rather than a scary game - we took the general spooky theme and ran with it. Glad you liked it!
For a unique game, I think that this was done well. I dont believe I fully completed the game, but it is clear that a lot of detail went into this game. Up to where I got to, it was not particularly scary but I do not think that was the intention.
Yep definitely not intended to be scary :) thanks for playing!
