Sobre esta demonstração

Play the first chapter of Cold Calling, the satirical switchboard game from Can't Get Enough Games. This demo includes 4 full levels, 1 bonus level, and 9 unlockable gadgets. Your demo save file will transfer forward to the full game.

November, 1962: The height of the Cold War. Mere weeks after the Cuban Missile Crisis, a new international entanglement is about to go nuclear. As the new White House switchboard operator, it’s your job to make sure long-distance negotiations don’t go south. Get ready to phone it in.

In Cold Calling, you take control of a telephone switchboard and are tasked with routing diplomatic calls between the United States and the Soviet Union, meeting the game’s cast of caricatured world leaders along the way. Using loose wires on the switchboard and a collection of wacky gadgets, you will have to juggle oncoming waves of calls and guide them safely from caller to recipient. The fast-paced puzzle gameplay is punctuated with hilarious exchanges between characters in a globetrotting adventure where your choices affect the outcome of the story.

GAMEPLAY

Master the switchboard to keep calls on the line:

• Fast paced real-time call routing. Drag wires around to create paths for "call dots" as they travel across the board. Juggle up to 4 calls at once using a limited set of wires.

• An arsenal of wacky gadgets. Choose from 9 unique gadgets (25 in the full game!) to make your job easier. Effects range from simple speed modifiers to absurd themed gadgets like a frying pan and a hand-cranked generator!

• Catch a break and enjoy the hilarious story. Each wave ends with a short story beat featuring the antics of caricatured historical figures.

• Listen in on secret conversations. Choose a character to spy on and unlock a bonus level themed around that character at the end. (The full game will feature a total of 6 bonus levels, with 3 of them unlockable on a New Game Plus playthrough.)

• Solve point and click puzzles to unravel a conspiracy. A mysterious masked stranger sets up adventure game-style puzzles to test your wit. What could his true aim (and identity) be?
