Home Safety Hotline

About

You play a customer service rep for a home safety hotline, answering calls from people who think something’s wrong in their houses. Using a dry reference manual, you diagnose issues ranging from odd noises to suspicious stains. Each call forces you to pick answers that balance honesty with keeping callers calm. The longer you work, the clearer it becomes your “helpful” advice might have real consequences. The interface mimics 90s phone systems, with flickering screens and staticky audio reinforcing the low-budget creepiness. The game leans into its unsettling concept by twisting mundane problem-solving into something quietly disturbing. Player communities have compared the tension to old voicemail horror stories, with some finding the ambiguity more unsettling than jump scares. While short, the experience sticks around, part bureaucratic satire, part slow-burn discomfort. It’s the kind of game that makes you check your own walls after you hang up.
