Phone Story

"[1] The game consists of four minigames which require the player to complete activities such as forcing children in the Third World to mine coltan and preventing suicides at a Foxconn factory.

[3][4] Apple cited violations of their developer guidelines as the reason for removing the game,[5] though an article published in The Guardian questioned the validity of their concerns.

[7] The Phone Story website contains extensive information about the topics touched on by the game, and all profits from the sale of the app go to charities which work in the areas described,[8] including a donation of over $6000 to a girl injured in a suicide attempt at a Foxconn factory.

[10] The first game deals with the mining of coltan in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and has the player controlling guards to ensure that labourers are not allowed to rest.

[10] Each minigame requires the player to complete the relevant action successfully a certain number of times before a timer runs out;[10] if they do not, the narrator admonishes them, saying "do not pretend that you are not complicit."
