They play a board game under Equus Oils at the start and try to get into the museum in Act 3. Edit: I was reading this article and the phone in the screenshot is a different one than what I played. Are there different versions? Escape Car 3000 fucked around with this message at 21:34 on Oct 30, 2014 |

That's interesting. I wonder if Cardboard Computer changed the model because of the real life phone they ended up modding for sale on eBay and Polygon has an earlier review copy. But that makes too much sense for CC.

Apparently, you can actually call that phone number and play the game through a real phone. I am not American, so I can't test it myself.

I've done this, and I've paired my phone up to my car's audio system, too. It was insanely fun playing a KRZ audio adventure, taking votes on which option to choose, on a mini roadtrip to SF. Why are some of the options (looking at you, organs) so freaking long though, ughhhhhhh

choobs posted:Any difference between the Computer version and the phone version? Just that you miss out on the text when you hang up the phone in the computer version. I haven't noticed any other differences. How many other people besides my boyfriend and me actually tried to make the TV static noises to see if it would prompt a response? We felt so silly afterwards, but we wouldn't put it past CC to sneak something in there.

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=336101991 It turns out that there are actually several phone models in the game, and which one you get depends on what flags are set in your savegame. Also, if you let the phone sit for a while, it will ring by itself. One of the messages you can get this way is a recording of a numbers station, containing a coded message: http://steamcommunity.com/app/231200/discussions/0/620695877410574318/.

The bot on the other end of the line glumly describes it as: * A 1986 RadioShack Telephone * In good / weird condition * Only dials one number * Repair is unlikely * May have been present during emotionally difficult events

I might also add that this ad's music is deeply, violently seventies This music was born in the old folks' home This music smells like dip and tastes like cheap casino carpeting You can occasionally hear this music while flipping through Grandma's old photo album, but you can't really listen to it This is the music that plays in the elevator after you get out of it John Liver fucked around with this message at 23:26 on Dec 20, 2014 |

Now the chyron just says "RELAX RELAX RELAX RELAX RELAX RELAX". The birds standing on the phone have a pile of seeds in front of each of them. Edit: Now it says "place a bid in the next 30 minutes and we'll include a free artificial flamingo bird." There is now a hand above the phone showing us the flamingo, and placing it on the phone. Edit: newest offer: a free MT9970 DIP microchip. Paracelsus fucked around with this message at 00:39 on Dec 21, 2014 |

It's related to their in-between release. Presumably the phones they're selling can only call the number that ties into this.

It's a real number too, you can totally call it and play Here and There Along the Echo on your phone.

From Twitter: "Will Act IV come out before the end of May 2015?" "still not doing any release date forecasting, sorry! but we're hard at work & hope you'll feel it worth the wait." "Can't even confirm it will not take as long as Act III?! :-(" "we hope not but, frankly, it will if it needs to. this process takes weird turns sometimes & we wouldn't have it otherwise." WELP.
