The People of Verdant

The payphone can help you connect with the outside world, it may be broken and missing multiple number keys but it will help you contact people around town that may, or may not be able to help you, From the lonely detective attempting to solve a case, the confused old lady looking for her daughter Margaret, to the mega corporation of ElectroSystems and many, many more.

Choosing your response carefully can lead to very different results.

Multiple Endings

Midnight Dial is designed to be re-played. You may start the game and the first number you guess leads to a taxi service, or you may find yourself attempting to persuade an old lady to come pick you up in the middle of the night. There are many routes you can take through the game, the end is only the beginning.
