The premise, in the publisher's words

Plug & Play is a 2015 video game developed by Swiss independent developers Michael Frei and Mario von Rickenbach, and published by Etter Studio. It is an interactive art game where players manipulate small figures, whose body parts are made up of plugs and sockets. Plug & Play was based on a short film of the same name animated by Frei in 2013, engaging programmer von Rickenbach to translate it into a game. Upon release, Plug & Play received positive reviews, with many critics viewing the imagery of plugs as a humorous and meaningful metaphor for interpersonal interaction. Following release, the game was nominated for the Nuovo Award at the 2015 Independent Games Festival.
