Not so much a game, more a story with a game inside it.
'Hello Operator' is a narrative based exploration of the Connected Worlds theme.
Step back to early 20th century Sheffield. Live out your fantasy as a switchboard operator. Click, drag and read your way through five days of monochrome vignettes.
Ok, so let me start by saying that it indeed crashed my computer, so I did not play to the end. What I can say from what I've played is that this is a great, great, great game. First, your take on the theme is quite original (I mean, I'm kind of getting sick of having to connect or collide planets); the art style and sounds were are on the spot, and the gameplay mechanics totally unexpected and quite profound in how they somehow pit the player's responsiveness against the character's impatience. All in all, fantastic job!
oh man!! It crashes me indeed. I need to see the ending of this!! the mood and pacing are great - I can't believe that this was the result of a pivot. It feels like this is exactly what you set out to do and nailed it. and I felt so dumb for not writing the numbers down. so, so dumb. If it plays all the way through on your machine, I'm eager to try it out. (We should do a post-dare beer night or something!)
