Calling is a survival horror game, but one thing stands out - you'll be carrying a cell phone with you through the journey.

To do: There's some files in the data folder starting with "Proto". It seems it's some converted file using a Maya plugin?

Unused Music

To do: Find out what's in sound_data.brsar and Calling_snd.brsar

In snddemo/kart_title.32.brstm the title screen music from Mario Kart 64 in .brstm format from NintendoWare (a collection of tools for developers) found inside the game!

In calling_snd/stream there are 2 testing audio files which are simple beeps.

Unused Death Sound

In Calling_snd/Calling_snd.brsar/GRP/CMN/Audio[47] There exists an unused sound, presumably of flesh being moved arround ending with a bone breaking at the end. this was presumably, a death sound.

Unused Text

In dll, there's a ton of file paths.

Debug Mode

To do: Explore other unused .rel files.

Replace ratingDll.rel with selmenuDll.rel to enter the debug menu based off the one in the Mario Party series. It needs a Gecko code to get any text displaying however. The below Gecko code will enable a text display in the debug menu in the NTSC-U version. Text is huge in width in the widescreen mode.
