Phone Behind Bars is a Unity detective game by PBBGames. You play a male prisoner whose only contact is his wife, using a mobile phone to gather clues and try to clear his name. The story unfolds through messages between characters, asking you to lean on allies as favors become more complicated and morally questionable. It uses 2D CG artwork and focuses on romance, cheating, and corruption.
The current build is v0.10, released on October 29, 2025, and development is ongoing. It runs on Windows and Mac in English, with no censorship. The update adds the Emma 8 chapter, over 100 pages of new story content, and more than 100 new artworks. It also includes four routes: Story, Horny, Obedience, and Hurt, plus interface improvements and bug fixes.
Developer's description
You’re in prison, and all you have is a mobile phone with only your wife on the contact list, ready to do whatever it takes to prove your innocence

[Review based on 0.9] - In this update the dev really went all out and basically flooded the game with images (I counted over 100 pictures). Yeah, many of them come in series, but still, it's a huge step forward…
