Strange Telephone

Getting Started

You begin in the Core world. Your goal is to leave through the gate here. Pick up the Sun Lantern from the left. Look at the large terminal gate, and then examine the phonebook on the right. Using this, you can make your first call to number #612*5 First Call.

During the game, there are several other achievements just for making more phone calls:

• Make 10 phone calls Call 10
• Make 30 phone calls Call 30
• Make 100 phone calls Call 100

If you stay in a mini-world, you will notice the glitch-meter starting to rise (from 0 up to 5). You can use your sun lantern to stabilize the world so you can stay for longer, but ultimately you will need to hang up to return to the Core.

Solitude (#612*5)

Go right to meet Bocchi, who will tell you a new number: 184733.

Soul Room (184733)

Here you can find several items, most importantly a Search Device on the right.

When you return to the Core now and use the telephone book, you will see that you can save numbers of important places, and more importantly you can get a preview of which objects will be in a world before you visit it. So you can now start trying random numbers in an attempt to find new objects to help progress the story. You can also just walk left and right from one world to the adjacent world.
