Mixed Signals by Borbi
Mixed Signals
You stayed home to take care of your girlfriend. At the same time, you're working remotely.
Through a network of cameras, you observe her behavior across the apartment. Something feels... off.
Subtle changes. Missing objects. Unnatural reactions. Small details that don't quite add up.
Observation & Communication
When something catches your attention, you can contact her - but choosing the wrong words may make things worse.
You only get limited attempts to understand what's really going on. Her responses aren't always clear... and they don't always match what you see.
Some situations require action. Others don't. Misjudge it, and you'll pay the price.

Work Never Stops
While you're watching her, work keeps coming in.
Emails. System scans. File cleanup.
Ignore them, and your boss will notice.

Multitasking
You can only focus on one thing at a time:
- Observation
- Communication
- Work
Time keeps moving, no matter where you are.

Goal
Balance all three. Stay focused. Don't overreact. Don't ignore what matters.
Don't mix the signals.

Thanks!
P.S. Pressing space at the beginning doesn’t work :(
Glad you like it!
We're aware of the issue where the space key doesn't work even though it says it does.
So we decided to remove the message entirely to avoid giving players false hope.
There is no escape from our cutscene HaHaHa
Hope you like it! :D
I wouldn't agree with you cause in my head everything was so clear... UNTIL
Until I had to explain whole system to my girlfriend, then and only then I realized that our game needed a guide.
I think every Observation Duty type game have this exact problem.
Anyways thanks for the review and the time :D
But the concept is hilarious and brilliantly executed. Great job!
Liked the experience though :) 
Presentation wise, it is very cool. I also liked the audio, and the job tasks were also quite fun. Obviously, I only managed to get the bad ending. Anyways, congrats on the entry!
The game is very similar to mine.
Overall it's a great entry that reminds me my everyday life, maybe a little too much :joy:
