Phone Calls Carry You to Surreal Dimensions in ‘Strange Telephone’

Every six-digit number you call will carry you to unsettling worlds and distorted landscapes as you struggle to dial your way home in Strange Telephone.

Strange Telephone finds Jill trapped inside of a gloomy dimension, a colossal door standing before her. Graham, a chatty being that’s taken the guise of a phone, is there to help her find her way home, and can take her to new places if she dials a number. These six-digit numbers will carry Jill to numerous places, many filled with hints of dread and unease.

You can find useful items as you explore the myriad worlds their phone can take you to. With a little hard work and luck, you may even find the key that takes you home again. That said, with eleven possible endings to Strange Telephone, your journey to freedom might not be what you expect it to be.

Strange Telephone offers a dream-like journey through broken realms, and a twisting storyline that will require multiple playthroughs to understand. Plus, you get a phone pal, which is neat on its own.

Strange Telephone is available now on Playism and Steam.
