🎮 Full gamepad support
🖐️ Touchscreen support
⚡ Rock-solid 60 FPS
Can’t wait for you to try it on the go!

I also made a few (bad) tests for the original Bureau 81 logo. Fortunately, charlesboury.fr made the final logo and it looks AWESOME!

For ethical and creative reasons I then changed those pictures for real photographs of real humans, and the community was even able to submit photos to put in the game!
This was really cool, and I hope to do the same for the sequel (🤞).

After that, since I had a ton of pictures to handle, I aimed for a more realistic approach using AI. I mostly used thispersondoesnotexist.com. Here was the original Mia COLE and Barry WALKER.
Those who played the original demo will remember old Barry!

🤔 Ever wondered what The Operator could have looked like with different designs?
As I'm cleaning up The Operator's Unity project for a new game, I found some old assets that I want to share with you!
For instance, this was the first profile picture for Evan
