COLDLINE
A downloadable game for Windows
"It’s a fun little game that does a great job of building up tension as the time ticks down as well as making you increasingly exasperated at its (deliberately) convoluted automated telephone system."

took me 2 new york bombings to finally beat the game... neat game to play when bored, usually takes 2-3 retries to figure everything out but i'm sure you can stop armageddon from there :3
goid game
great game. blew up the world 4 or 5 times before finally figuring out how to beat the game
Yeah thats truly a horror game.
Beautifully intense game.
beatiifull idea
I mean If i was them I would have a "emergency that is not going to the president button" beaucse if they didint they they deserve to lose new york+
This is such an interesting concept. I'm trying it right now and might write a review after I explore it fully
the options to play again or quit at the end of the game don't work if you aren't using a numpad. i had to get a usb keyboard for my laptop just to click play again.
i have pernament number 8 flashing on my screan after completing the game
best image i got
never mind its gone
i keep forgetting the numbers and the menu..... i simply gave up and let new york be blasted into pieces.. great game stressful phone
Concentrated panic in one, horribly made navigation menu simulator. Brilliant horror, 10/10 would "help help help no no no no don't do this what have I done there's ten seconds left" again :fire: (Basically: Concept brilliantly executed, great job man!!!)
When will the Burning Beaver version be uploaded???
ME HA PARECIDO UN CONCEPTO SUPER INTERESANTE Y ESTRESANTE XD. ME HA ENCANTADO. EXCELENTE JUEGO.
Linux version?? Pleeaaaaseeee? :>

This game was equally as it was frustrating as it was intense. Great experience and the end had me in stitches. What'd you think?
This is freaking hilarious . Great game
Ic loved thy showcase.
Great stuff
the games too fuckin hard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (edit: nah nvm)
I really loved the concept of this game. It's very unique and the tension had me on edge. I wasn't able to stop the nuke in time though but I still had fun playing this game.
Here's my gameplay of it. It starts at 00:49
This is an "on the edge of your seat" experience! There is also a gentle reminder as you play that such things never come to pass. Very well-done Paper Cookies!

This is a very good game i would have love to see more content but other wise a good game
I once knew a kid named alaN who played this game. He said it was good but we couldn't find it.
Not a bad game at all. Idk if it was intentional for the humor or not, but the lines telling you to go to a website for more info in the 1960s is a little bit immersion breaking ngl. Not a huge deal, but thought I'd mention it.
you're totally right haha, for some reason I didn't realise that that doesn't make any sense up until you mentioned it! i guess an automated phone menu also didn't exist in the 60s, so i will chalk it up to artistic freedom haha
The longest phone conversation of my life...
I'm still catching my breath as I write this comment. My God, what a wonderful game! I was really afraid I wouldn't make it (and indeed, the first playthrough didn't go very well). The tension it puts on you as you watch that timer get close to zero is incredible. Wonderful game, brilliant idea. On one hand, I can only imagine how people felt during that time when they were afraid that everything could end at any moment. Truly amazing.
Love this game! super unique and cool concept with great execution!
the phone menu is the average modern game ui
