    I have gotten numerous free codes from them over the years. I also
    purchased one or two games from them as they were the cheapest at the
    time so I think having an account with them is worth it.

    Anyway, I took this game, so thank you, but I don't think I am ever
    going to play it. :-P

    That free game isn't even mentioned in their latest junk email
    newsletter. I'm not interested in that particular game, but it makes
    you wonder what else they don't bother to tell people about. :-\

    Yeah, I didn't get it too. I saw it on https://gg.deals/freebie/free-112-operator-steam-key-on-fanatical-available-for-a-limited-time-only/.

    The 911-/112-Operator games have been offered as freebies so often I'm surprised everyone here doesn't already have a copy. I think I have
    the game on Epic, Steam and Amazon (or maybe Twitch, back when they
    still gave away games)? I know I've tossed out a few codes for these
    games over the years during our Holiday Extravaganzas.

    The games are... fine. I like the aesthetics (it reminds me of
    "Uplink", anyone remember that game?) with its white-and-blue visuals.
    But I remember it as a game that couldn't hold my attention for long.
    The mechanics just aren't that exciting, and the underlying narrative
    and setting aren't really that notable. It's not a bad game, but it
    feels designed to scratch the itch of a small niche of players. A
    niche of which I'm not part.

    The basic concept does not appeal to me, in large part because I was a programmer who worked on the Computer-Aided Dispatch systems such
    facilities used. I've sat in the room with the calltakers & dispatchers
    and read more incident histories than I can count, including a number
    from NYC on 9/11.

    I've done good in this world. Now I'm tired and just want to be a cranky
    dirty old man.

    Wow. That must be a difficult job. I wonder how accurate these games are.

    If the game involves paperwork, making curated recordings of 911 calls
    and dispatch radio/text traffic, answering stupid questions from people
    calling for non-emergencies about 25% of your time, sitting around with
    nothing much to do for 70% of your time and 5% of your time trying to
    help over the phone people having the worst day of their lives knowing
    you'll most likely never hear how it ended, then its accurate.

    Otherwise not even close.
