About the game
You work in a scam call center where every conversation can take a strange turn. You speak or type to fictional callers, try different lies, and use remote access to search their computers for information. The money you bring in goes toward a daily quota. More scams become available as your run continues, while viruses, raids, and other office disasters interrupt the shift.
Up to eight players share an online lobby. Each person can work the phones, but everyone contributes to the office target. Between calls, you can bother coworkers and throw office props around. The day ends with the boss judging your work. It suits a group that enjoys making up ridiculous conversations and watching a shared workplace unravel.
