911 Operator is a game, a strategy-simulator developed by Polish studio Jutsu Games, which is a reiteration of a project which won the Indie Showcase competition held during Digital Dragons 2016. In 911 Operator you become a rescue service operator, and your job is to answer calls from people in danger. The story campaign takes place in 10 cities – you will face many different challenges; some of them amusing, some serious, some frustrating.
911 Operator for PC, iOS and etc. is a strategy simulator by Jutsu Games, know for Moder Wizards (a mobile game), and some flash games. The game received some recognition after it won the Indie Showcase competition during Digital Dragons.
Mechanics
In 911 Operator players become an operator of a rescue service, working on a telephone line. The task is first of all receiving phone calls from people in danger and helping them. This means that the players need to, for example, give advice concerning first-aid, choose the right amount of crews to dispatch into the scene, as well as choose the right vehicles (trucks, helicopters, different police cars, as well as fire brigades and ambulances). Sometimes, the player can receive a prank-call – they need to be ignored, if the player can recognize them, of course. The devs made sure there’s a slew of different situations in the game – sometimes they’re very serious, other times they’re very funny, they can be frustrating as well. The story mode takes the player to 10 different cities.
Technical aspects
2D graphics of 911 Operator for PC, iOS and etc. is minimalist. It mostly shows the city, where all incoming calls, units etc. are displayed.

911 Operator Review – Emergency Dispatch Center Simulator
Being an emergency dispatcher is a highly responsible post, as proven by the game from a small Polish dev team. While it may be hard to remain focused during longer sessions, 911 Operator is definitely worth your time.

PC WindowsGameSkinny: 4 / 10
Overall the game just doesn't have enough going for it. The concept is interesting but the execution is lackluster to all but a very niche audience.
Nindie Spotlight: 7 / 10 by Nindie Spotlight
Overall this is a title that will live or die based on how fascinated you are with the premise. Though mechanically it’s not very complex that isn’t to say it’s easy by any means. You’ll have to be smart about how you use your units, learn to always handle calls before anything else (if nothing else time slows down while you’re on the phone), and then experiment with personnel and equipment to figure out what seems to work for you. It may not be very action-oriented, but there is a certain thrill to a job well done and when you throw in some oddball calls you need to deal with it’s certainly a unique experience.
New Game Network: 65 / 100 by Alex Varankou
911 Operator successfully taps into some addicting resource management gameplay and effectively combines it with a unique emergency call center scenario. This foundation is solid, but repetitive mechanics combined with a lack of content and relative ease of progress leave this simulation feeling lackluster.
