Don't Pick Up turns phone repairs into a dystopian horror demo

Quarter Games' free demo puts players in a government-monitored repair shop, where daily rules and discoveries on customers' phones shape the story.

The free Don't Pick Up demo arrived on Steam on September 24, bringing Quarter Games' phone-repair job simulator into dystopian psychological-horror territory. The Steam listing credits Quarter Games as developer and Clover Bite as publisher. In its official announcement, Quarter Games describes the demo as a brief

introduction to the work ahead. Players repair customers' devices in a workplace governed by new rules each morning. The store description says information uncovered on phones, choices about what to report and an escalating political crisis shape the experience; it also lists multiple endings. The setup turns routine

repair work into a test of what a monitored employee is willing to notice or disclose. The demo is available now on Steam. The developers have not given a full-game release date on the cited pages, so the demo is the only confirmed release to report for now. Headline image: official Don't Pick Up promotional artwork;
