About The Telephone
The Telephone is a first-person psychological horror game about Roberta, who wakes after being kidnapped in a small room with a seemingly broken telephone and a chalkboard of instructions. She soon discovers another girl held in the adjacent room, and the two set out to find freedom.
Survive and investigate
You collect items and clues to help Roberta regain her memory, and search for food to keep her alive. Darkness, fog and paranormal events increase her fear, so you guide her to safe places. You also solve puzzles to uncover why Roberta and nine other girls were kidnapped.
The town of Lonely Plain
You travel to the picturesque city of Lonely Plain and investigate the mysteries that led Roberta there. An ambient audio system places sounds throughout the game, with unsettling noises hidden in every corner.
