About the Game

Emperor Hotline is a strange little incremental game about restoring a forbidden signal from the First Emperor.

Generate power. Upgrade ancient computing devices. Feed the First Engine. Turn the crank, boost the signal, and keep the Emperor on the line.

The call is weak at first. Mostly static. A few broken words. A voice that should not exist.

But with enough wood, bronze, minerals, machines, game consoles and questionable upgrades, the signal gets clearer. The hotline grows stronger. The Emperor starts talking.

And he has plans.
