Welcome to the Institute Of Skam! You are Boris, the newest employee of a scam call center in Plövka, a tiny Eastern European dictatorship. Newly emerged from isolation, Plövkans must find new ways to make money, but are clueless about the modern world. Overcome your ignorance to cleverly deceive Westerners, using a range of scams. Bask in the glory of your grateful nation, earn a few kropeks, and avoid being fired (and returning to your former job in the fluoride mines). Good luck, patriot! * Make calls and steer the scam towards a successful ending. * Navigate dialogue options ranging from friendly to furious. * Different targets might be chatty, nervous or belligerent (and everything in between). * Base your dialogue choices on the targets' personalities and moods. * Talk to plenty of different callers, all with distinctive personas. * Every line of caller dialogue is fully voiced. * You have a short fuse. Manage your irritation, or it will boil over into rage, causing you to explode during promising calls and ruin them. * Find ways to manage stress between calls. * Lower stress during calls by yelling at trolls and timewasters. * Unlock new and increasingly diabolical scams. * Each one works on a different type of target, so you’ll have to master them all. * Use your Book of Skam to guide you through tricky calls. * New skills and knowledge will help you in your dubious quest. * Improv classes, fake accents, and pop culture knowledge will all lead to Skam Glory.
