Wow. Never have I been so compelled by an idea and so let down by the execution. Home Safety Hotline should be applauded for its creativity and spooky playfulness but I hate to say it, it's not fun or interesting to play. If you've done the first two days that's it. That's the game. No spoilers but the underlying mystery, and short runtime, is the only thing that made me see it through and god did it amount to nothing. This game starts out as "oh okay this is kinda cool!" and by the halfway point its at "i don't hate it!"

There's a perk that gives a chance to reflect bullets back at enemies as they shoot you. Two bad guys right in front of me shot me at the same time, then the bullets both deflected and shot them in their dicks simultaneously. Incredible.

When you don't have friends to sit around a table and play D&D with you for 72 consecutive hours, this is a close second
