unlabelledView post →i have a strong aversion to the term 'GM' in my games... i have called the role the Liege, the Administrator, the Operator... part of this is feel, i believe that what a game calls its facilitator role (if it has one) can have a huge impact on the Feel and Vibe of its writing [1/2]
unlabelledView post →The Operator: If you are an X-Phile, you will LOVE this game. You are behind a computer screen working as an "FDI" agent helping those in the field. Mystery and story abounds. I shouted and paced the room at one point. So good. store.steampowered.com/app/1771980/...
unlabelledView post →Finally got a piece of gear (my first custom amp) in Warframe and GOSH does that improve the parts of the game where I have to use the Operator (Very broad context: the Warframe is basically a mech,the Operator is basically the pilot, an amp allows the Operator to fight on their own, which happens)
unlabelledView post →Okay The Operator, the game on Steam, delivered. Worth a play. Love an ending like this. Truly.

unlabelledView post →The best idea for a Matrix game is *my* idea, where you play in pairs, one person gets to go in the game and do karate and shoot guys, and the other person is the Operator who has to play a bunch of hacking mini game simulators that let you get new items or change the gravity
unlabelledView post →Your self-insert is the Operator/Drifter, but you spend the vast majority of your game time playing your Warframes, and while there is a symbiosis between Operator and Warframe there’s still enough separation that the Operator can appear as someone else communicating to you during missions

unlabelledView post →The Operator is an investigation game, putting you in the role of the "guy-in-the-chair" of an FBI-like fictional organisation. It has lots of characters in the searchable database in-game - and the studio has a form to submit your own picture to be added to it. Here is the form: t.co/d5EbONofOU
unlabelledView post →The Séance of Blake Manor, The Operator, and now, The Incident at Galley House, another game teaching me to love investigative adventures!

unlabelledView post →I finished the game "the Operator", where you play the role of the faceless person who helps FBI agents on the phone in movies. You must zoom into bad surveillance camera feeds to use face recognition, look into car licence DB, guide agents inside a building, hack locks and so on 🧵

unlabelledView post →I would suggest "The Operator" on Steam/Epic as a good mystery game. There's also one I played in the 90s called "Virtual Murder - The Magic Death". Its abandonware these days.

unlabelledView post →The Operator this was a fun one. paper please-esque FBI investigation game with some very tense moments and sick plot twists at first i wished the game went on a bit longer and was a bit dissatisfied with the ending, but i found out a sequel is in development, so i can excuse those things 7.5/10
