The Epic Games Store has started giving away a new free game on Windows. Also available on macOS, The Operator is a narrative-based puzzle game that takes various twists and turns on a 'mind-bending story' as you investigate and solve crimes with 90s visuals.

The Epic Games Store has been giving away Two Point Hospital for the last week in a deal worth $29.99. This week, the storefront will be switching away from the world business simulation to a game with more of a thriller twist to it. Incidentally, this week's free game can be downloaded on Windows and macOS too, unlike recent giveaways. 

On the face of it, The Operator is a simple puzzle game where you investigate crimes and help FDI agents in a narrative-based adventure. Set firmly in the 90s, The Operator revolves around a CRT monitor with accompanying filters and retro visuals. However, developer Bureau 81 injects a degree of moral ambiguity to keep gamers on their toes.

For reference, The Operator typically sells for $13.99 on Steam where it has achieved a Very Positive rating from over 2,500 reviews. Likewise, the game averages 78/100 across Metacritic and Opencritic. According to Bureau 81, The Operator supports cloud saves and controllers like the DualSense or those designed for Windows like the 8BitDo Ultimate 2 (curr. $53.99 on Amazon). Please see Epic Games' store listing for more details.
