Please Hold

This was a game designed by Noah Crispo and programmed by Isaac Balogh for Ludum Dare 27.

In this game you play as a telephone operator who must transfer and connect all incoming calls to your grid due to the suspicion there are state enemies within your boarders attempting to spread propaganda.

All controls are used via the mouse and in game instructions detail what the player should do.

We're aware of a few bugs, but real life got the better of us. We're going to continue to work on the title after LD27 has concluded.

Regardless, please enjoy!

Really nice idea. I was a bit confused with the gameplay, and maybe the tutorial could be a little more user friendly? Some pictures maybe? In any case, that was refreshing.

Interesting concept though I couldn't understand if the call line I put up is accepted or not.

Didnt really see too much of the theme, but it's an interesting concept!

Hi Isaac, I have tried your game.

It's a great starting point and core concept for a prototype! :)

Hey guys - we had exactly the same idea , but we dropped it in favor of the one we released! It's nice to see someone else thought about it too, and check his vision about it! :)

Interesting concept, and the graphics and audio are very well done. As you mentioned, it isn't complete, and feels like it needs more for the player to do. Keep at it, though!

Fantastic idea. Cool to see how you try to integrate world building and narrative (a Lucas Pope fan here too). The core gameplay I found a bit fiddly, but with more work this can be killer.
