Operator Trailer - Audio Surveillance Puzzle Game

by Mike Yi Ren (Canada)

Genre: Interactive Installation

Operator is a 1-2 player audio puzzle game where players assume the role of surveillance agents. Using a physical wiretap controller, players tune into conversations, record evidence, and decipher information to identify suspects wanted by the authorities. Operator examines the voyeuristic nature of surveillance and the choices players make when given power and control.
