It's 1989, the girls are having a sleepover and you're like, totally invited!

Pillow fights in their underwear, singing into hairbrushes, and gossiping about their crushes, what could possibly go wrong? As long as they don't answer the over-sized pink phone... dun dun DUUUN!

Based on the retro classic game Dream Phone, Scream Phone will take you on a killer journey back to the '80s with an infectious soundtrack.
