Full points for originality. Let me just say that right out of the gate. I also loved the interactive main menu! The game's primary issue for me was information overload with a lot of data coming into my eye spheres and not a lot of connections being easily made, somewhat ironically, I guess XD.

This is so cool though. What a concept. Please push this further; I've got a feeling that with a little more refinement and user-friendliness, you could have something special on your hands.

Concept seems interesting but I got a little overwhelmed by the mechanics, even after reading the instructions. It would be cool to start with less switches/options and gradually increase them so that the player can learn better

This is fun to play! I love the concept; can honestly say I've not seen a game about old phone switchboards before. It's a little hard to get the hang of and I've been fired several times now, lol, but satisfying gamefeel. Nice work.
