“A delightful oddity.”
Gamasutra

“Beneath all the weirdness, it's a surprisingly emotional game.”
The Verge

“Wonderfully weird, grotesque, cute and wildly funny, and provokes some thought to boot.”
Kaiju Pop

This game may be incredibly short but you will find yourself playing multiple times in order to understand its deep meaning. I currently am still trying to decode the game. This game really makes you think and it was nice to play a game like that, all in all I really enjoyed this game

This is not a recommendation. This is me trying to figure out what i just went through. You know those videos that make you go "wft did i just watch?" and make you question everything around you? Not the stupid "wtf" moments, but the ACTUAL wtf moments. This game is 15 minutes of that. I think, in this game, i watched the Human Centipede, Mass Genocide, Abandonment, Sexual Lust, amd a light switch both get a boner, and go soft. Like i said, im still figuring out what i just witnessed, and if i need to tell someone about this. This may scar you if you are younger than 17, and you may need to see a therapist either way after.

Another really weird and short interactive puzzle game that I can now put into the completion piles... All kinda of plugs that you have to work them though a bunch of metaphor images that symbol connection, life, tolerance, network and even sexual intentions...

it's not a game for young kids and most of the people wouldn't understand a thing even after they complete the game. play it slower.. and think about each image..maybe and just maybe you will find some deeper philasophical meaning to them...

basic visual.. weird music.. easy game play.. 5-10 minutes of game play is all you need...

7/10.. If you already have the game.. give it a try.. who knows maybe you will find it enlightening.

这个游戏可以有多种理解方式。
总的来说,就是在一个插头世界,当两个插头连接在一起的时候,光明与黑暗会随之改变。在这里的插头们,没有思想,没有感情,仅仅是把互插当成一种本能或任务。然而我们的主角,还没有被这死寂的世界同化,他感到了互插的特别意义——那何尝不是感情的传递?于是,他问他插过的插头:“Do you love me?”插头们自然是对这种异类不愿靠近的。在这期间,主人公遇到了很多不爱自己的人,也遇到了真爱,但也遭受到了出柜和出轨。看那两只手,也是一段凄美的爱情故事,最后一只手死了,另一只手把他插入插座,终究只剩下一个人,预示着他们终究逃不开这个死寂的世界与他们悲惨的命运。
另外,游戏是有可选择性的。比如,一排插头男那里,可以只推倒第一个人,传回来之后走掉就可以了。再有,拔掉金属插片的插头男那里,以排便方式拉出来的插片如果被玩家扔向同一边,他就会捡起来再次插上,继续做插头男;如果金属插片被扔向不同的两边,插头男就会因为找不到插片而变成插座女。后面的对话也有多种选择,但无论主角是男是女,如何选择,都会是一个悲伤的结局。

Do you like An@l ?

Plug & Play is not really a game, it's an experience.

It's about sexuality, it's about binary relationships, about rejection. Also, it's about an@l plugs. Literally.

It lasts about 15 minutes, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I laughed, I got frustrated, I became sad, I thought "wtf" quite a few times. It made me think a little.

I will definitely not ask for a refund.

This "game" can be picked up for a good laugh... and that's it. There is literally no other content to this game. I feel as though if this game was free, then it would definitely be worth picking up. But $3 is way too much for this. I have about 40 minutes of playtime on this, and I played through the game twice. There is only really two good reasons to pick up this game: To support the developer, or to immediately refund it after one playthrough.
