Mixed Signals
Controls:
Left, Right arrow change camera (only if you are focused on camera)
Left click to focus on monitors and telephone
Righ click to exit from monitor or telephone
You stayed home to take care of your girlfriend.
At the same time, you're working remotely.
Through a network of cameras, you observe her behavior across the apartment. Something feels... off.
Subtle changes. Missing objects. Unnatural reactions.
Small details that don't quite add up.
When something catches your attention, you can contact her - but choosing the wrong words may make things worse.
You only get limited attempts to understand what's really going on.
Her responses aren't always clear...
Some situations require action. Others don't.
Misjudge it, and you'll pay the price.
Meanwhile, work doesn't stop.
Tasks keep coming in - emails, system scans, file cleanup.
Ignore them, and your boss will notice.
You can only focus on one thing at a time.
Observation. Communication. Work.
Time keeps moving, no matter where you are.
Balance all three.
Stay focused.
Don't overreact.
Don't ignore what matters.
Don't Mix the Signals.
PS. Sadly in web version distortion on camera is not working porpably some shader isn't compatipable with web.
We added windows version where this works, but there is other problem with screen resolution, current fix is presing alt + enter 2 times and screen resolution should be fixed

Nice game, although the concept with the anomalies and messages is a bit confusing. Didn't really understand what they were doing gameplay-wise

@fassenberg
Glad you like it!
We're aware of the issue where the space key doesn't work even though it says it does.
So we decided to remove the message entirely to avoid giving players false hope.
There is no escape from our cutscene HaHaHa
Hope you like it! :D

Great Game, I found it super fun. The design and gameplay are amazing, would highly recommend. The only bug? I encountered was with the File.exe, it would not go away and just wouldn't stop showing up eventually lagging my computer. I had to have the girlfriend kill me before it lagged my computer more, lol. Thought it was part of the game for a bit, until they wouldn't stop popping up. Made for a great laugh

@alex-o Thanks for the feedback.
I wouldn't agree with you cause in my head everything was so clear... UNTIL
Until I had to explain whole system to my girlfriend, then and only then I realized that our game needed a guide.
I think every Observation Duty type game have this exact problem.
Anyways thanks for the review and the time :D

I fell in love with the concept of this game, but it's so hard to figure out what exactly to text the girl and when her reaction is normal and when it's not. I know it's somewhat realistic, but the lack of clear feedback on how I should act, as well as when a situation is abnormal and when it isn't, makes the game really difficult.
But the concept is hilarious and brilliantly executed. Great job!

@greenradiation Great to hear that you liked it. To be honest it wasn't supposed to be This difficult, although now it perfectly resembles real life. Thanks for your feedback

Some conversations just feel too authentic. stay strong. Nice concept overall :)

gubo22 Apr 2026, 16:36
love the pixalated vibe and music, though I got lost at the file generation part and didn't know what to do.
Liked the experience though :)

Ehrm... this feels way too real... I felt the frustration while playing. I didn't even manage to win the whole game after many tries. This girl is so annoying haha. However nice job with this (too) real life simulator :unicorn:

pragmascript22 Apr 2026, 18:20
Nice concept. It fits the theme very well. I found it very difficult to understand which messages to pick and when she is doing normal things.
3blackpixels22 Apr 2026, 18:34
Addicting gameplay. Love the idea to switch attention.

hoarime22 Apr 2026, 19:18
when the files flooded the screen i thought it was intended and were waiting for something to happen xd. generally, i think the idea/concept is pretty good, but gameplay felt too repetitive for me, although it makes you feel the same as in real life, so it has to be like that i think
Andrian22 Apr 2026, 19:33
I've always wanted to play a cool game using surveillance cameras, and this was such an interesting experience! I have to admit, though—trying to figure out what was wrong with the girl was the hardest part. Maybe that’s why I’m single, haha. Anyway, it’s a truly original game, and I’m definitely going back for another playthrough. Great job!
Alexander Stepanov22 Apr 2026, 20:27
I liked the concept, but it's not really clear. I have no idea how or when to click what. why and why he's freaking out. I didn't text her at all for 4 game hours and everything was fine. Maybe it should have been left that way?))) The screen on the left did not changing the camera


rta22823 Apr 2026, 17:52
@pragmascript Thanks for your feedback. The whole mixed and not clear signals from her was intended for it to be realistic XD

rta22823 Apr 2026, 17:52
@3blackpixels Great to hear that

rta22823 Apr 2026, 17:55
@hoarime Yeah, this file.txt bug sucks. It is a shame that we didn't manage to catch it earlier. Yeah we planned more anomalies and minigames, but as the time was passing by we decided that it is better to have less features than to the game to be unplayable. Thanks for your feedback


rta22823 Apr 2026, 18:01
@alexander-stepanov Thanks for your feedback. Yeah gf's signals aren't very clear and this was the whole gimmick. It is realy interesting that you had so much luck for gf not to do any anomalies for 4 in game hours straight. As for the screen I think you weren't focused on it, cause from not focused perspective you cannot do anything on any screen. Thanks for playing

marudziik24 Apr 2026, 00:18
I liked the idea, though it was very difficult for me to decipher when I need to text her, or what do I do. Seems the only clear thing was how to do my job, which is kinda funny now that I think about it. I get that the game is called "Mixed Signals" and not "Obvious Signals", but still - in terms of the gameplay, I wish they were just a little bit more clear. :sweat_smile:
Presentation wise, it is very cool. I also liked the audio, and the job tasks were also quite fun. Obviously, I only managed to get the bad ending. Anyways, congrats on the entry!

I like the menu, but I haven't quite got the hang of the game yet
ionhaven26 Apr 2026, 20:38
I loved how people kept saying “too real,” because that’s exactly the charm: weird, funny, frustrating, and surprisingly original. The split attention mechanic plus pixel vibe makes it feel like a cursed little gem you replay to decode.

Nnican29 Apr 2026, 18:38
Nice game!
The game is very similar to mine.

Loved this game, very unique concept, my PC started dying with the eternal files task. I can see this becoming something bigger indeed.

R4ndomThunder4 May 2026, 21:37
Nice game, got the unlimited files bug so i gotta quit my run, the anomalies mechanic was not too clear to me and I haven't figured out how i lost 2 lives.
Overall it's a great entry that reminds me my everyday life, maybe a little too much :joy:

Love the idea! Lost instantly though. Pretty accurate to my life.
Thanks!
P.S. Pressing space at the beginning doesn’t work :(
