I really wanted play through the whole game, but looking up the lines in the directory was frustrating and broke the pace too much. The concept is really good and the game looks great though.

Has a great vibe - reminds me of Papers Please in a good way. With some more polish on the UI this would be as close to perfect as a jam game gets.
Yo! Maybe it could start out with just three lines or something in the beginning? I played three shifts and the last one where I had some UI understanding I could start enjoying the drama.
But I really like the writing, and it's key that it's also short sentences but still holds nuances. Looking forward to read more world building/immersion tales in the future!
I like the detail that if you are connecting wrong lines the call starts anyway, and peoples doesnt understand whats going on. Simple, but nice. In my mind the shift ends a little abruptly
