Government agents are abundantly featured as protagonists in video games, but its usually the ones draped in camo behind enemy lines and not their well-dressed co-workers back in the office pushing pencils and refilling the printers with fresh toner. The mediums bias for bullets and bombs frequently forsakes the latter in favor of the former. The Operator, however, flips the script by being a narrative-heavy adventure game starring a federal operative that withholds the firearms and bombast but not the thrills the genre thrives on.
