Original postUpdate from Jon, the developer:
Call Hating is releasing in 4 short days, and I've been hard at work making Call Hating a unique and engaging experience. Under the hood, I've added a system of milestones that help keep the player "on track" with extra narration. This was an ambitious addition for the last week, but it was much needed to really bring the narrator (Voice Inside Your Head, or VInYH "Vinnie") to life and make it feel like he's really there with you. I hope you enjoy the many extra narration prompts.
Other than that, I am working up to the release date with beta testers (shoutout to Dane especially, who has been of immense help) to smooth out all the wrinkles in terms of bugs and shaping the player experience.
I am very excited to bring my passion project of over 2 years to the world, and I hope you all enjoy it. Thank you to everyone who wishlisted Call Hating and tried the demo over Steam NextFest.
Peace, love, and Call Hating.
