“On behalf of Quasar Telecommunications, I am happy to welcome you in our family. You are part of our exciting new program allowing technical support specialists to work directly from home. Your new Spectrum system will connect you directly with our customers through the Support Desk.”
Tech Support: Error Unknown is an adventure game with simulation and puzzle mechanics, which places you in front of a virtual computer. As a tech support specialist new to the job, use a wide array of computer software to solve customer issues or choose to manipulate programs for personal gain. Hack your system to unlock its full potential, GPS track lost phones, scan profiles to blackmail customers, or simply propose they reboot.
While on the job, you discover a conflict between your corporate employer and an anonymous rogue hacktivist group, trying to take them down. Will you climb the corporate ladder, secretly join the hacktivists, or help the police expose them? Alternatively, will you pursue a more personal agenda?
Key features
Engage customers and colleagues through a novel procedural dialogue system
Choose how to approach each situation in a sandbox computer environment
Decide who to side with and unlock new gameplay
Discover multiple major and minor endings
Mouse-only controls make the game accessible for all
It tries too hard to emulate Papers, Please - and, unfortunately, mostly fails. The interactions are too repetitive, with you looking for conversation keywords rather than actual nuanced details. People feel shallow and hard to relate to despite having access to their info. You don't really feel driven to help them. Apparently there's something like 30 different endings - I've only gotten two, both meh.
On the plus side, you can finally exact some justice on those call center workers!
I'll play a bit more today, but first impressions were not positive.
I can never be free, because the shackles I wear can't be touched or be seen.

Also, this may be of some relevance if you're planning on supporting this dev - spot what's wrong with this picture... (in spoilers to preserve page format, not an actual spoiler).
Spoiler:
Seems like this shit's everywhere now - cowering in fear of the mob.

Yes unfortunately they want to make the abnormal part of human nature instead of trying to find a cure/solution to a medical condition as described and categorized by experts/scientists. Add to this the fact that countries like Canada and France are passing laws that give the fake mobs/sjw's more power and ground to want more I'm scared on where the world is going. Anyway don't want to derail the topic but I'm definitely not supporting or buying or even pirating this s**t.
