A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux


They Call is intended for adult audiences, no one under the age of 18 should play. Please check the content warning before playing, and take it seriously. You’re responsible for what media you consume.

synopsis

It used to be that ghosts, fae, gods, and everything in between were things of fiction. The “veil between worlds” was something mystical; something intangible.

That was before the boundary between physical and metaphysical came crashing down, and all those things turned out to be real. 

Already too wary of the world, the change adds another layer of uncertainty to your life that you’re barely able to handle. As the situation deteriorates globally, you feel your sanity steadily slipping away. 

And amidst it all, they call for you.
