About the Game

You are alone in a phone booth, desperately trying to call for help, but something about the world outside feels wrong. Keep your eyes on the monitors, watch for anything that changes, and report the anomalies before whatever is hunting you gets too close. Stay alert, keep the signal alive, and don’t look away for too long, or you may not be alone in that booth anymore.
