The Hotline allows callers to explore anecdotes on reproductive healthcare via a phone menu with each user creating their own choose-your-own-adventure style narrative. Satirising anti-choice pregnancy helplines, The Hotline explores how patriarchal medicine impacts those experiencing reproductive health issues.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜… "Navigating Kasey Gamblingā€™s deliriously cheerful, malignantly patriarchal parody of a reproductive healthcare ā€œhelpā€ line feels like being stuck in limbo, halfway between The Handmaidā€™s Tale and The Stepford Wives." - Stephen A. Russell, The Age
