Being a switchboard op isn't easy. Cold Calling asks you to manage up to 4 "Call Dots" (those colored orbs) at once as they move across the switchboard. Limited time, limited wires and unacceptable "distortion" particles orbiting some Call Dots complicate things even more. But over 20 gadget types give you a lot of ways to handle the challenge.
There's a lot going on in this clip that I'll expand on in future posts! But the tactile, physicalized wires you drag around are one element that people understand right off the bat. They also keep the game feeling immediate and physical rather than like an abstracted puzzle game.
