• Wot I Think: Strange Telephone - 23 January 2019

  Developer: HZ3 Software Publisher: AGM Playism Release: Out now On: Windows From: Steam Price: 3.60, $4.50, 4.50 Entering into its deeply peculiar world, Strange Telephone offered up so many things I love. A bizarre, bulky aesthetic, creepy undertones and surreal locations, and a unique mechanic that made exploration feel novel and interesting. Until it really, really didn’t. In words I never thought I’d type, this is a game that’s too strange. (more…)

• Strange Telephone Development History #0055 - 23 January 2019

  On this day three years ago (5/3/2015), when I began developing Strange Telephone, I drew up some pixels based on this telephone. From that point on it continued to evolve, eventually bringing forth "Graham the Telephone".📞 #StrangeTelephone https://steamcommunity.com/games/705290/announcements/detail/1461845777992421650 https://twitter.com/yyuta342/status/1071301393204436992

• Ver. 2.01 Update - 23 January 2019

  Hi All We have just updated Strange Telephone with the following updates: Fixed bug causing displays for Endings, Library, and Settings to disappear (provisional). *As we were unable to reproduce this bug in certain environments, we have fixed the process that was assumed to be causing this bug to occur. Fixed bug preventing scan line settings from being applied outside of the title screen and settings screen. Fixed bug causing "Kakukaku" to freeze. Fixed bug causing encounters with Geo-1 and Geo-2 to occur in reverse order. NOTICE Since we have fixed bugs concerning save data (provisional), updating from ver. 2.00 may prevent the game from loading properly (i.e.: save data may not load properly) in some environments. If you experience crashes after loading the game or freezes in the loading progress bar, you may need to delete your save data. Save data location: C:\Users\\AppData\Local…

• Strange Telephone puzzlingly dials up PCs today - 21 January 2019

  Fans of the weird, dream-like puzzling of Yume Nikki should feel right at home with Strange Telephone . It’s a quiet little point-and-click adventure about a woman – Jill – exploring weird, abstract dream-realms through dialling them up on her levitating telephone pal Graham. Explore, collect items, solve problems and slowly work your way towards an ending. Or just chill out in the Candy Dimension, if that’s your thing. Developer HZ3 released it a while back (appropriately enough) on phones, but today marks its English PC debut. There’s a trailer ringing below – pick up. (more…)
