DEAD LINE

☎ The living pay by the minute. The dead call collect.

October, 1994. Marlow Falls. Your aunt Odette ran a 1-900 psychic hotline above a laundromat. Three weeks ago she walked downstairs and never came back up. You inherited the key, the ledger, the debt — and a switchboard that will not stop ringing.

DEAD LINE is a dark idle / incremental game with a real mystery inside. Answer amber lines to earn cash from the living, hire night operators and buy TV spots to grow your hotline… and pick up the red lines — calls from numbers that don't exist. They pay in static, raise your dread, and sometimes leave behind a tape that explains what really happened in the old telephone exchange in 1971.

🕯 Features

• Idle + active play: tap ringing lines or let the operators work while you're away (offline earnings)
• 7 nights, each with a story call and a choice that matters
• 12 collectible tapes, a Séance upgrade tree paid with static, and a Dread meter that bites back
• 4 endings, including a hidden true ending
• New Game+ with Echoes and an endless post-game
• Retro CRT switchboard look, synthesized sound, mobile-friendly
• English & Português (BR)

Outubro de 1994, Marlow Falls. Você herdou a linha de tarô 0900 da sua tia Odette, que desceu ao porão e nunca voltou. Atenda os vivos (que pagam por minuto), contrate atendentes, compre comerciais das 3h… e atenda as linhas vermelhas: chamadas de números que não existem. Elas pagam em estática, aumentam o pavor e deixam fitas que revelam o que aconteceu na antiga central telefônica em 1971.

Idle de terror com mistério: 7 noites, 12 fitas, 4 finais (incluindo o final verdadeiro), New Game+. Demo grátis no navegador (Noites 1–2) · Jogo completo US$2 em HTML único (PC e Android, offline).
