Feb. 2025

Very clever and original interface for a game. Home Safety Hotline plays out entirely on an "In game retro windows 95" type desktop. On this computer desktop you receive short calls from people describing weird peculiar events around their home. It is up to you to listen to the client and figure out which mythical creature or entity is causing the ruckus in the client's home. This is done by looking through an in game encyclopedia of all types of weird mythical creatures, and choosing the right answer to help the client. + The game was clearly made with much passion and hard work. Lots of beautiful hand made artwork here. The pictures of the mythical creatures, and reading about them, was actually interesting. + This game is very relaxing. There is no time limit which I thought was great. Perfect game to play at 1-3am before winding down for the night. + There is an in game "making of" digital artbook that is unlocked after beating the game. This small book was actually a really fun read through describing the process of making the game. +/- There were a few FMV scenes which was a nice idea, but most were boring and missed the mark. - The game is priced high for what you get. The whole experience is just 2-3 hours. - The game can make you sleepy. Most of the times there is no music. There is no real action happening ever. Some may find the game boring. - Could use more FMV scenes of the clients fighting or dealing with the creatures. If you appreciate hand made artwork in games, or mythical creatures in general, go for it. Try to get it on sale. Overall 7 / 10

The game can be completed in a little under three hours, so the price is a bit steep. The gameplay consists of receiving calls, reading little wiki entries about paranormal things, and trying to pick which creature is responsible. That being said it has some neat monsters, and a little story to it, though it's completely linear. It's a novel premise, and if the prospect of reading little monster descriptions appeals to you enough that you'll take a quiz on it this is a fine way to spend a few hours.

i really like this! it turns out the creators worked at the failed theme park Evermore, which you might know from jenny nicholson's long video about it on youtube -- if not, check it out. i'm happy to see the talented people from that poorly conceived park find new projects to succeed with that are in the same vein and inspired by those times. also, all the old timey windows dropdowns gave me bad memories of learning visual basic (complimentary).

Sept. 2024

Really fun and unique! Some of the calls were pretty spooky but most were pretty tame, so I would've liked a bit more scary ambiance to add some tension when you dealt with clients. The game is very short, which I don't think is a bad thing but probably not worth the $15 so get while on sale. I've only gotten the ending where you "beat" the game and it was unexpected but cool! I could instantly tell that the creators loved this game just by that ending alone. They had fun with it and so did I!

I really enjoyed this game! You work as a Home Safety Hotline operator, helping callers identify strange things going on in their homes. While I didn't find it scary, I prefer the creepy/disturbing vibe it was going for. I also really liked the feel of working on an old desktop from the 90s and it felt like a lot of care went into the art style. My only complaint is I wish there was more! The game is super short and there's really only one gameplay mechanic of picking entries out of a database based on a caller's description. I was disappointed the game never upped its complexity by incorporating photos or audio files into the mix. Like, instead of just having a caller's description it would have been cool to have a photo to go off of or a video/audio recording you have to identify. It seemed like the game was set up for this to happen given there are audio files in the database and some creatures were given visual descriptors to distinguish them from each other, but this mostly doesn't amount to anything gameplay-wise. I also wish we as an employee could have taken a more active role in helping some of the callers with their issues like sending HSH services/pest control or recommending products they can buy to help them out. Overall, glad I purchased it and found it to be a unique gaming experience!
