Facts checked against Steam and the official site on October 1, 2026.
What kind of game is it?
You work a desk in a scam call center in Kolkata, India. Fictional callers ring in, and an AI plays each one live: you talk, they answer, and what you say decides whether they trust you or hang up. While you keep them talking you use the tools on your in-game desktop, called Kolkata OS, to pull out the details you need, cash in the scam and move your team toward the day's quota.

Miss the quota and the boss fires the whole team. Hit it and the next day gets harder and stranger, with new scams to unlock and new disasters to survive. The Steam page names scambaiters, computer viruses, police raids and air strikes among them.

The game is built by JakeHub and Metater and published under their label Jatater Worldwide. It passed 10,000 Steam wishlists on September 10, 2026 and 100,000 on September 23, 2026.
