The immersive mystery game "The Operator" unveiled the game trailer and the latest real-life demo of the Chinese demo version at the Bilibili Future Games Show. Players will take on the role of a new Federal Bureau of Investigation (FDI) operator, remotely assisting field agents in front of their computers, using cutting-edge technology to collect evidence, access databases, and analyze investigation reports. This game was developed by Bureau 81 and indienova was responsible for the national distribution. The game is now available on the Steam store page, and is expected to land on Steam in the third quarter of 2024 with support for Chinese.
Truth capture of the characters behind the scenes
As a competent operator, your main responsibility is to answer calls from field agents in a timely manner and help them with various logistical tasks including confirming clues, searching databases, identifying killers, and more. Each case will provide evidence that you need to analyze and evaluate, and your role is to investigate the file, connect the clues and finally solve the mystery in the case.
Diverse modern means of reasoning
FDI provides the industry's most cutting-edge lead analysis software to assist you in investigating these challenging cases. Video and video analysis software, citizen and vehicle information databases, chemical spectrum analyzers, laptops, and full-featured command-line terminals are all the best tools you can use to clear the fog.
The truth is often accompanied by a larger conspiracy
The quest for truth isn't always easy, and as you explore, you may become involved in conspiracies that you shouldn't know. However, at all times, sticking to the bottom line and following the clues given by the evidence to complete the investigation is the best way to get you closer to the truth.
