Incoming Call
A downloadable Phone-based game
Incoming Call is a sci-fi horror game where the player(s) roleplay and engage with each other in real-world phone calls, or in solo play with the ramblings of an audio log.
The main player takes on the role of the colonist, a solitary astronaut investigating a barren space rock for science, with a constantly growing insanity score that puts them on a one-way trajectory to emotional collapse. This player makes phone calls or leaves recorded messages for their bond and counsellor, who can also be players.
Player(s) construct the story as they play, with only a mobile phone and a lonely six-sided die to hold their hand. Each game will be a unique, tragic, and surreal experience taking on themes of isolation, family and exploration.
You can also find a great french translation by Angela Quidam here!

Install instructions
You can use normal phone calls, but also other methods like skype or discord if you prefer. For recording, most phones come with a recording app pre-installed, (on iphone use "voice memos," and on android "audio recorder,"), but if you don't have a smart phone there are lots of devices you can use to record yourself.

okay this is briliant
glad someone thinks so XD.
so i noticed that there is a french translation. do you mind if i translate your game to Portuguese(Brazil)?
I'd love you to! As long as its available for free, send me a link to the itch page (or other store page) for it when you're done and I'll link it here (you can get to me via this comment thread, twitter, reddit, or discord). Feel free to experiment with you're own graphic design and optional rules if you so desire. I like the look of arcana magna!
