The phone (Fin: puhelin) is located in the player's home, on a telephone chair in the hallway. It is used to receive calls from other people residing in Alivieska. It is possible to unplug the phone at the wall socket to avoid getting any calls. The phone itself seems to be modelled after the Alcatel Digitel 2000 desk phone.

Electrocution during a thunderstorm[]

The phone can also cause an electric shock if one answers it during a thunderstorm. The player will be greeted with a brief flash of light along with a sound of electric discharge. This has a 10% chance of killing the player, with heart attack listed as the cause of death. In case the player survives, neither the phone or the player will experience any ill effects and the gameplay can continue as usual.

It is always possible to tell in advance when thunder is calling: If the phone rings only once, it shouldn't be answered. It should be waited for the phone to ring at least twice.

Work calls[]

Septic work[]

  • Five different people will call once their septic tanks are full, the locations will be pinned on the map above the phone.

  • Jokke, the local drunk, might call the player at 02:00, asking for a ride home.
  • He will also call if he has been tricked into buying water instead of kilju.
  • After giving him five rides home and waiting for a while, he will call the player and ask if they could help him move to his new house.

Teimo[]

  • Teimo from Teimo's shop will call when the player's postal orders have arrived at the shop.
  • He will also call if the player "forgot" to pay for fuel, threatening to tell their father, or saying that they will go to jail.

Random calls[]

Wrong number 1[]

(Fin: Antero Antero, Antero mulla on uus peli, sä et oo Antero, haista vittu!)
Subtitles: Antero! Antero! I have a new game! ...You are not Antero so fuck you!

  • Antero's friend is so excited about a new game he just got, that he accidentally dials the wrong number, which is owned by the player character.
  • This suggests that Antero has a very similar phone number with the player, possibly having only a one digit difference even.

Wrong number 2[]

(Fin: Haloo? Ku- kuka siellä on? Anteeksi, väärä numero.)
Subtitles: Hello...? Who is this? Oh I am sorry, must be a wrong number.
