The Operative is an episodic interactive spy thriller from Operative Games, played through AI-powered phone calls, texts, and video. Players help Daniel and Enya through a body, a secret, and split-second choices across a prologue and two hour-long episodes. It runs entirely on servers, with no downloads, and the game world is streamed to the player. It has so far only been released as a limited playtest.
Contract work for Operative Games. I helped with engine-level Unreal work for its pixel streaming setup.
