Navigate a mysterious facility to charge devices, solve puzzles, and reconfigure the map as you see fit. Uncover the secrets of the facility that await you both at its confounding core. You act as The Operator: the hacker who stays back in the van and helps the VR Installer as they traverse the facility. Only you can see the whole facility grid at once, and only you have the special ability to manipulate the facility from your command hub. You can see things the installer cannot, which may be the key to getting your teammate out alive. This is a free mobile app, and can only be used to join games set up by the VR game owner. It is not a standalone game. Please note that the Elsewhere Electric mobile app is intended for mobile phones only.
