The game was developed by an Italian company called Molleindustria, known from other carnivals because of games like Oligarchy, in which the player embodies a tycoon with a mission to exhaust the resources of the planet. She also produced Pedopriest Operation on the Catholic Church and his sex scandals.

Phone Story In the player must meet four series of missions, including a stage where you should use a stretcher to prevent employees from committing suicide by throwing the stories that worked - a clear reference to the suicides that have happened in the production plant installed at Foxconn Chinese city of Shengzen and responsible for assembling the iPhone and iPad, among other gadgets.

"In Phone Story players are complicit in the slave extraction of minerals in Congo, outsourced labor in China, the dumping of electronic waste in Pakistan and consumerism in the West," say its creators, ensuring that all profit generated by the application is designed for organizations that combat corporate abuse.
