In this investigation game you're the desk jockey with all the cool analysis software

You know how in cop shows there's always that person back at the lab whose job it is to go over evidence, analyze video, read chemical analysis reports—all the nerd stuff? The Operator is a conspiracy thriller about doing that job, helping the people out in the field get cases solved. 

Obviously, though, it's going to go off the rails: You'll be immediately contacted by a strange hacker known as HAL and tasked with uncovering dark, deeper truths and all that. Very conspiracy thriller investigation stuff, very atmospheric.
