Its free offer ends in four days. Also, you have to get an account and subscribe on Fantical as a catch.

I have gotten numerous free codes from them over the years. I also
purchased one or two games from them as they were the cheapest at the
time so I think having an account with them is worth it.

Anyway, I took this game, so thank you, but I don't think I am ever
going to play it. :-P

The 911-/112-Operator games have been offered as freebies so often I'm
surprised everyone here doesn't already have a copy. I think I have
the game on Epic, Steam and Amazon (or maybe Twitch, back when they
still gave away games)? I know I've tossed out a few codes for these
games over the years during our Holiday Extravaganzas.

The games are... fine. I like the aesthetics (it reminds me of
"Uplink", anyone remember that game?) with its white-and-blue visuals.
But I remember it as a game that couldn't hold my attention for long.
The mechanics just aren't that exciting, and the underlying narrative
and setting aren't really that notable. It's not a bad game, but it
feels designed to scratch the itch of a small niche of players. A
niche of which I'm not part.
