Overview:
You play as Julia, a young woman struggling to keep her life under control — until her phone stops being hers.
What begins as harmless glitches quickly turns into something far more invasive. Messages appear from unknown sources, private moments surface without explanation, and secrets she never shared begin to leak.
Her phone is watching her.
As the pressure builds, Julia is drawn into a web of manipulation, exposure, and increasingly compromising situations. Every decision shapes her path — whether she fights back or gives in.
My Phone is Corrupted is a story-driven visual novel built around a fully interactive smartphone system. Navigate messages, social media, banking, photos, and apps as the story unfolds directly through her device.
Someone is always watching.
The only question is… how far will it go?​

This was way better than expected! Loved that I can send the pic that I choose from various poses, that can freely post them in ingame IG. Id only add the skip option or add text on the call, first time it crashed, then second one worked but had to wait. I hope you finish this game!

Is there a guide or something

Is there a guide or something

There is a built in guide, click the "?" The the top right of the phone and it will tell you what you need to do.

Very nice start. My one critique would be needing to click twice to send a message. First to click the message bar then to click send. Felt tedious. Wouldn't stop me from playing it though.

Great demo, will follow this one with interest.

Really looking forward to more of this game! I love the main menu photo. Great choice for the look of the mc. Can't wait to further corrupt her.

I gave the demo a try and honestly it was a very pleasant surprise.

You can tell the dev cares about the details. The phone system feels much more interactive than in most "phone-based" VNs I've played, and there are several ideas here that I don't remember seeing implemented elsewhere. The selfie system and uploading them to social media was a particularly nice touch.

For a first demo, I was genuinely impressed.

A few UI improvements could make the experience smoother though. For example, sending messages currently requires quite a few clicks, and being able to upload multiple selfies at once instead of one by one would be a nice quality-of-life improvement.

I also ran into a bug that can block progression. If you upload a lot of selfies, the social media feed eventually becomes too long and stops scrolling properly. Later, when a mission asks you to check the feed for a specific character's post, you can end up unable to reach it and get stuck.

Overall though, this is one of the most interesting first demos I've played in a while and I'll definitely be keeping an eye on future updates.
