I love and hate this game. Bugs get in the way. Rushing through some of the phone inputs bugged out my call. I frequently couldn’t put the cd-rom in the disc drive, it would just access the computer screen. The action sequences were not fun. The last one was just boring. Making the list of information I needed and figuring out the routine was delightful. It was like a mix of a classic escape room puzzling and the data deduction from newer games like Case of the Golden Idol. The art and humor are perfect. I laughed a bit at several of the gags the first time I encountered them, but not so much the fifth or sixth time. Comedically antagonizing the player was the entire point according to the dev. It’s fun for a while. If one piece of information evades you it will get tiring. Expect to restart a lot until you wrap your head around everything (or because a bug pops up).

About This Game
Call Hating is a DOS-era retro-inspired point-and-click game that answers the question "What could go wrong?"
In Call Hating, you play the role of an aging, forgetful work-from-home worker who hasn't exactly kept up with the latest technology in your home office. When your smartphone breaks and your internet connection goes down, it's up to you to reclaim your bandwidth using obsolete and outdated tech around your house.
With plot and narration inspired by classics such as The Stanley Parable and Portal, Call Hating is a work-from-home simulator wrapped in an escape room, stuffed with minigames, and baked in a 500-degree oven of dark and fourth wall-breaking humor. Explore multiple endings that hinge on the choices you make.
