Bordeaux, France, 22 July 2024 - Bureau 81’s debut title, The Operator, has launched on Steam and GOG ($13.99, £11.79, €13.79). The conspiracy-fueled experience inspired by X-Files sees players recruited into a Government organisation known as the FDI. As an Operator, players will need to use cutting-edge software to piece together clues that will eventually lead them on the hunt for a most-wanted cyber criminal, known as HAL.

The Operator is an immersive narrative adventure where players will be assigned case files from FDI field agents. They’ll need to investigate each crime by digging for clues and piecing together key information. Whether utilising the Video and Photo Analyzer, Citizen and Vehicle Database, ChemScan, Notepad or fully functional computer console, players will have to use every tool at their disposal to solve murders, cyber attacks and the cases of missing people.

To find the truth, players must unravel a complex web of information and evidence, to piece together a story filled with twists and turns. Operators must follow the trail, no matter how unsettling, to unravel the mysterious narratives, and bring fugitives, such as the FDI’s Most Wanted cyber-criminal HAL, to justice.
