Lacuna State Park Emergency Hotline

VOLUME NOTICE - I had my volume almost as low as possible when I was making this and didn't realize how loud it actually is - I'm going to fix it but for now make sure your volume is turned down 

this is my first ever game/coding project! - made with RenPy for NaNoRenO Game Jam 2025, mostly as world-building for a larger project in the same setting

_____________________ 

possible content warnings:

blood, surveillance, (fictional) legal system mention, psychological manipulation, rejection/abandonment, systemic ableism, allusion to (fictional) religion, light gore mention, implied death

[I feel like all of these are pretty subtle at the moment and I'd like to amp them up in the future]

_____________________

this upload is a rough draft/demo and I have plans to add more to the game -

possible future updates include:

• sound
  • replace music with original tracks
  • trim certain sound effects
  • add button press sound effects
• visuals
  • add loading screen
  • add fade to black at certain points
  • improve blood - sync blood to button presses
  • animated static/glitch effect overlay
  • interactive keypad menu
  • customize GUI
• gameplay and mechanics
  • add more endings/paths
  • add "HP bar"
  • add time limit
  • add redial limit (could use coins as extra "lives"? I think that would be fun)
