Getting Started: The Call Center Loop

Officially announced gameplay and a practical first-session checklist.

2 min read 2026-10-10 Source check: 2026-10-13

What the game asks you to do

Scam With Your Friends supports single-player and online co-op. You talk to fictional AI callers in real time, remotely access their in-game computers, and work toward daily quotas. The developers describe run-based progression with increasingly chaotic workdays and performance reviews from the boss.

A suggested first-session checklist

These are preparation suggestions, not a tested walkthrough:

  1. Read the quota and available tasks shown in your current session. Do not assume a fixed first-day target.
  2. Check the current controls and audio settings before starting a call.
  3. Follow the game’s prompts for remote access and payments, and confirm what the game counts as completed revenue.
  4. In co-op, agree who is speaking and who is checking the shared objective.
  5. Read the actual end-of-day review before planning the next run.

What is not yet documented here

The cited sources do not establish a fixed shift timetable, first-day quota, visible trust thresholds, guaranteed script, bonus percentage, or a revenue percentage that triggers dismissal. Those details need evidence from a named game build. Use your current game interface rather than a number from an older guide.

Before playing

The Steam page currently lists planned Early Access for October 15, 2026; the game was not yet released when checked on October 13. The developers target a full release around mid-December, but describe the timeline as an estimate. Broadband internet is required and Steam lists OpenRouter as a third-party AI service.
