I mean... it's just as boring as life xD (i guess operator simulator) fits the theme well though.

Good work! I liked the interactions with the characters, and the way you capture office routine by letting the player throw objects around when there are no calls. The beginning felt a bit static, but I got into it after a while. Also, the game didn't run in fullscreen, and I couldn't find a way to change that (maybe I missed something).

The visual style is beyond praise! The game leaves a pleasant impression, and despite the small amount of content, it makes you feel responsible for the decisions you make.
And that’s very unusual!

Incredible jam game! Very polished and a great format-minimal mechanics with a strong narrative focus works so well here. It feels a bit odd that callers answer instantly (as if they already immediately finished talking to the other side) and that we have a mic on the switchboard we can't actually use, but for a LD entry, this is fantastic. Great job, team!

I'd like to say this game is very polished and amazing!
I think the "Old Tech" starts with the story part, you as a caller handling many cases.
The gameplay is straightforward: listen to the content, make choices, and you’ll get feedback on your decisions at the end.
What I love most is the art. I can’t believe this is a game jam game. (The furry characters are cute!)

Я писал это на Итче, но думаю ничего страшного что повторюсь: Не хватает русского текста, типа понимать куда подключать ясно но о чем именно болтают мало понятно, а так графика и внешка мне понравилось

Weary cool game, I like it. Atmosphere 10/10. It’s a bit drawn out and takes a while to read, but that’s just the nature of the game, so it’s fine.

The way you capture the contrast between the mundane office routine and the high-stakes nature of each call is really effective. It creates a constant sense of tension that makes every decision feel truly meaningful.

playing a call operator who has to connect people to the right place is such a tense idea, and the fact that a wrong call can cost someone their life gives every conversation weight. the old fashioned 3d models and the mood are really striking too, it feels like a forgotten ps1 game. how did you keep the call logic readable without turning it into a guessing game? really intriguing project.
