In the video game Lollipop Chainsaw, answering a ringing telephone triggers a quick-time event. Success in this interaction typically involves pressing a specific button or sequence of buttons within a limited timeframe. Failure to properly execute this sequence often leads to comedic or negative consequences for the character, Juliet Starling.
Successfully navigating these phone calls provides several benefits. These benefits can include progressing the narrative, unlocking bonus content, or discovering hidden secrets within the game world. Historically, quick-time events have been a common method in video games to involve the player in otherwise passive cutscenes or dialogues, and Lollipop Chainsaw utilizes this mechanic in its telephone interactions to add an element of gameplay during these moments.
