  • This game has great potential, and is a fun take on the making connections theme! I like the simple, static workplace, and I could imagine a long, convoluted story playing out through overhearing others' phonecalls. Love it! Unfortunately the game was hard to play for me. The text was displaying so slowly that I found myself waiting a long time to read a single sentence. I tried reloading the game to see if it'd help, and the second time, I couldn't connect Line 6 to the top left connection, so I couldn't get past the first caller. That's too bad because I can imagine that this gets interesting quickly. All I know is that Oskar's a messy baker. The visuals are simple and pretty intuitive. I think the empty space has potential as well for the future, but this being a narrative driven game, it doesn't need more than you have for the moment. I wish the address book was more obvious, I thought it was just setting like the coffee cup at first, and had guessed the right connection the first time I played. Once I discovered it, though, it was simple to read and understand and I like that it didn't cover the dialogue box. Overall, if it weren't for the slowness of the game, I think I'd have enjoyed it. I have faith in its potential. I hope you enjoyed making it and maybe will expand on it some other time! (Coffee drinking DLC when?)
