Overview
Crossed Signals is a 2D visual novel for players who want body-swap comedy mixed with romance and mind control themes. The tone stays light and character-focused rather than heavy or dramatic.
Story
An ordinary college sophomore comes across a phone with a strange power: whoever he calls trades bodies with him. He has no idea what he's triggered, and neither do the people on the other end of the line. Getting back to normal isn't guaranteed, and some of them may have to learn to live in a body that isn't theirs.
Gameplay
Play centers on choosing who to call and living through the consequences of each swap, from awkward first moments in a new body to longer stretches of adjusting to someone else's daily life. Conversations and choices shape how each swapped character reacts, whether they resist the change or start to settle into it. Along the way there are lighter distractions, like a returning gaming pastime one character has to relearn from scratch in their new body.
Features
- Static 2D art style with dedicated expression sprites for emotional beats
- Multiple swap targets, including a professor and a cheerleader, each with their own personality shift
- Humor woven through the mind-control and paranormal premise rather than played straight
Changelog
v0.4.12

- You may be stuck as Violet forever, but you still gotta go to school. This update, we follow Sam as they navigate this life that's become a lot more permanent. What will they keep the same? What will they change?
- And how's Violet been taking this? Didn't she go out with the girls last night? I wonder what came of that? Perhaps we'll find out.
- New CGs!
- This update we've finished the arcade flashback CG from last update, as well as adding two new ones: Sam lying on her bed contemplating her new life at the end of day 7 followed by quality time with Eric on day 8.
More Backgrounds:
- Meanwhile Maeve has been working at the backlog, finished Nicole and Violet's bedrooms. How cozy.
v0.4.11
- New Story: Solo Violetswap Day 7
- Last time, Sam and Violet learned that they'll have to get comfortable in their current bodies, with a next-to-zero chance of ever finding the phone again.
- They do not take this well.
- We even made a special runny mascara sprite for Sam to mark the occasion.
- New CG: More Gaming!
- Oh well, life moves on. In the meantime, Sam gets to re-learn how to play video games, since she'll never get her gaming memories back. Life is haaaaard.
- Even More Backgrounds!
- Maeve has finished another four backgrounds: the gym, Nicole's office, Nicole's Livingroom, and Top Banana. Congrats to Nicole on finally getting her living room remodeled from a sketchy void to a cozy den.
