Released on February 24, 2017, 911 Operator is developed by Jutsu Games and published by Games Operators. As previously mentioned, it is a simulation strategy game that lets you take on the role of an emergency dispatcher.

If you think all you have to do is pick up calls, that's where you're wrong. How you react to what you hear will spell everything out for you. There are times you'll need to give the right first aid instruction. The other times, however, you'll have to figure out if you'll need to dispatch the police, fire department, or even paramedics.

Each call is unpredictable. There may even be a chance that you're just dealing with a prankster.

Play in Any City and Manage Teams

The game has two game modes. The first of which is the Free Play mode, which lets you pick from thousands of cities all around the world to play in. The second mode is known as the Career mode. This has six cities with unique circumstances. If you feel like dealing with the aftermath of an earthquake or the terror of a bomb attack, choose this mode.

As mentioned earlier, you'll also get to decide which teams to dispatch between the paramedics, the police, and the fire department. Aside from this, you'll also get to manage these teams, including their equipment, vehicles, and even the team members themselves.
