Well, I think it's clear that this game is in the spirit of Papers, Please — it's very interestingly designed and conceived. The only thing I don't understand is why I can't disconnect from an already active call and lose my progress because of it? Once, I accidentally tried to unplug the wrong cable and ended up realizing that I couldn't even unplug it while the call was still active. And one last thing—it can sometimes be annoying when the cable covers a letter or a number, and you have to squint to see what's there.

a switchboard operator working "for the good of the Motherland", nicely ominous. the jacks, the cables and the paper-note tutorial look great in that warm pixel art. only got into the tutorial but it feels like papers please on a switchboard, which i'd play more of

@z1biks You can't unplug a cable once it's connected correctly because it was faster and easier to implement it that way than to handle what happens if you unplug the correct cable

And yeah, I made the cables slightly transparent which I thought would be enough (apparently not)

Anyway, thanks for the feedback!

I feel like the game is broken for me.
I think that happened when I connected an upper cable to the caller.

Cool idea! Everything worked well and I thought the tutorial was really well paced and thought out. I don't know if it was coming later but it would have been cool to get a bit more story and dialogue snippets

Great game! The audio was great, and the tutorial was super helpful. The only thing I found was that the text was a little small (when it wasn't in full screen mode), so it was hard to read. I also notice that the wires covered the text, which made it hard to read what it said. I would suggest either moving the text down a little or putting the text over the wires. Overall great game, very fun, and well rounded!

Yo, switchboard game brother! Really cool game. Connecting everything feels so satisfying, and the sound design makes it even better. Awesome work! I tried to achieve that same satisfying feeling of making connections in my own game, but I don’t think I quite nailed it. You absolutely did!
