SOMEONE IS LISTENING by Maocaroni
Play on FullScreen.
It's 1:42 AM. You're alone in the watchtower.
The manual says not to touch certain frequencies.
It doesn't say why.
Someone is Listening is a short horror narrative about signals, identity, and the things that find you when you leave a channel open too long.
Read carefully. Every detail is a warning.
Some you'll catch. Some you won't.
You have one night. Two choices. No good options.
Tune in — if you're still you.

Aside from the font, great art and vibe overall!
A little difficult to read the font but a nice little narrative game for sure!
As many people have already commented, the art is great, but I’d also like to call out the excellent audio which I think contributes just as much to the immersion 👏
In terms of story, its certainly creepy, but I didn’t really get how the different events were connected. I also didn't feel that the theme played a significant part in the story.
Loved the multiple endings!
Excellent work -- well done!
As for the downsides, I’d point out the font: it’s hard to read and ends up distracting from the atmosphere. It might work better if you keep it only for the moment when the monster demands to be let in, to emphasize that scene.
I also really missed having a “skip line” button. I wanted to explore different choices, but had to wait for each line to finish.
Still, game looks nice !
