About Over The Phone

Over The Phone is a talking sim about a photographer named Jake who meets a girl in the unlikeliest of places, on a customer support call with his internet service provider. The game is akin to a visual novel, in that it's primarily reading / listening to the conversation and periodically making choices about what to say.
  • Short game: ~25-30 min playthrough
  • 2.5 endings (2 primary endings, with one having an additional choice at the end)
  • Chill original soundtrack
  • Harper voiced by Catsen (ttv/catsen)

Choices



Most choices are part of a tone system, which include a word below that describes the tone/intention of that line. Making choices of a particular type makes it more likely to have similar choices later on and fewer choices that conflict with that tone.

If you played Drinks With Abbey, you're probably familiar with how unforgiving the game is when it comes to choices. You needed to pick specific ones throughout to get the "best" ending. In OTP, that's not the case. The types of choices you make do decide which ending you get, as well as change the conversation and future choices. But it's more flexible in terms of which specific options are chosen.

[h1]Over the Phone — 0.2h played | 3/3 achievements | A tiny, sweet “connection” story[/h1] [quote][b]TL;DR[/b] — Free, Steam Deck playable, and surprisingly charming. It’s basically a short romantic/nostalgic “getting to know someone” experience through calls, texts, and voice messages. Not deep, but it lands.[/quote] [b]Over the Phone[/b] is one of those micro-games that shouldn’t work… and then it does, because it understands one thing: [b]the vibe[/b]. You start with something simple (a guy calling customer service / a hostess picking up), and the conversation slowly drifts from “professional script” to something more personal. It becomes that familiar little bubble: first jokes, small confidences, photos shared, awkward softness, the early sparks of a bond forming. It’s the kind of story that hits if you’ve ever lived that phase where every notification matters and you’re half-excited, half-stupid, staring at your screen like it’s a sacred object. It’s cute, a bit nostalgic, and honestly… pretty wholesome. What I really liked: the presentation. The game leans hard into phone realism—SMS sounds, typing clicks, call vibes, and [b]actual voices[/b] during voice exchanges. For…

Игра 'Over The Phone' – это захватывающий и атмосферный квест, погружающий игрока в мутную историю раскрытия личности таинственного психолога. Визуально она выполнена в стиле пиксель-арта, что добавляет ей уникального шарма и ощущения ретро. Геймплей строится вокруг анализа текстовых сообщений, расшифровки аудиозаписей и принятия трудных моральных решений, оказывающих непосредственное влияние на развитие сюжета. Персонажи прописаны довольно глубоко, и ты начинаешь сопереживать им, несмотря на их странности. Некоторые могут найти темп игры немного медленным, так как акцент делается на вдумчивое чтение и прослушивание. Но именно эта медлительность позволяет полностью проникнуться атмосферой паранойи и неопределенности. Единственным минусом может показаться некоторая линейность сюжета, что ограничивает свободу выбора в некоторых моментах. В целом, 'Over The Phone' – это интригующая история, заставляющая задуматься о моральных дилеммах и последствиях наших поступков. Рекомендую тем, кто ищет неспешную, но увлекательную детективную игру с акцентом на сюжет и персонажей.
