Ransom Wave

Calls from the compound

Ransom Wave is a psychological thriller for PC set in a scam compound in Southeast Asia. After being lured by a high-paying job, you wake at Workstation 17, where supervisor Shen Heng orders you to call people on a target list and prove you’re still useful.

You make calls using a microphone or text input. The people you contact respond to what you say, including your tone and actions. You can follow a script, lie, stay silent, make small talk, interrupt or hang up. The game doesn’t require a particular line to move forward; your choices affect trust, suspicion, emotions, your performance and the pressure from Shen Heng.
