About this app

Your cable company would love to keep you. Forever.

Corecast is a fictional cable provider whose website was built by people who do not want you to go. Press 9 to Cancel is a puzzle game about escaping it: twenty levels of the interface tricks you have met in real life, arranged into one very long afternoon.

Nothing here is real. Corecast does not exist, there is no subscription.

WHAT YOU ACTUALLY DO

Find the cancel button. That is the whole game.

It is under a menu called "Advanced Comfort". It is below a fold that keeps moving. It is behind a chatbot named Buddy, who is very sorry you feel that way. It is greyed out until you accept the fine print, and the fine print reveals its rules one at a time, and each rule appears only after you have broken it.

YOUR PATIENCE IS THE SCORE

A meter at the top of the screen tracks how much patience you have left.…

Version 1.2 · 2026-09-10
Corecast has reviewed your feedback and made things worse. Patience now survives closing the app. Force-quitting used to hand back a full meter while keeping every level you had cleared. It doesn't any more. Running out of patience is no longer free. The Calming Survey returns less of it every time, and from the second collapse onward it also sends you back a level. The run still never ends. It just costs more. The penalty quests escalate. Breathing breaks get longer. The feedback form demands more characters each time it appears, and it still refuses anything too negative. Tapping everything to see what sticks now has a price: every third careless tap summons a quest of its own.…

Method and limits

What this report can and cannot show

What a missing label means

Not yet tested. No analysis has been published for this app, so there is no method to describe for it yet. A missing label is not a clean bill of health: it means nothing has been read, not that nothing is wrong.

Limits of this report

  • A package scan is static. It identifies code and text in one Android build. It does not measure a live ad session, test a deletion request, or count the steps needed to cancel.
  • Reviews keep their sample. A review-only charge shows distinct reviewers, the share and the sample size, and is published only once it clears that label’s published threshold. Calibration labels are machine-drafted and not yet confirmed by a person.
  • Not assessed is a state. It is never a zero and never a pass.
  • A missing label is not a clean bill of health. It means the evidence did not support one, not that the app is problem-free.
Not yet human-reviewed. A human review gives an app hands-on, recorded measurements. None has been run for this app. Hands-on inspections are not yet open.
