Voicemails
This page is full of story spoilers.
HOW CALLS ARRIVE
- When a call's condition comes true, it waits for 8–23 seconds of you walking around (menus and talking don't count), then the pager beeps.
- Only one call can be waiting at a time. If another one comes true, the first is delivered silently, with no beep. It still shows up in the Voicemail menu.
- Walking into the caller's own town cancels their waiting call. It's queued again the next time the condition is checked.
- Conditions are mostly checked when a field area loads. In scenarios A and B some are also checked when you leave certain towns.
