Me, I find myself reminded of Iain M. Banks’ Culture stories, specifically Inversions and State Of The Art. I would not be surprised to discover that the roommate was conversing in Marain.
Alas, that means our poor protagonist will not meet anyone associated with his former roommate. The strange phone calls are a red herring, designed to fool the listener to thinking that the former roommate is still on the planet.

Also it reminds me a bit of the game Firewatch (but expending upon the “Why?” would be a spoiler)
