First of, the game "Orwell" is based on the worldwidly popular novel "1984" by George Orwell, whose surname was picked as the game title and which is set in a totalitarian surveillance state. The game is one of the few games that are being released these days that feature unique gameplay and new ideas, although it's not as popular as it would deserve to be. I, however, bought this game during a recent Steam Sale because it struck my eye and I was interested in this.


Well, in general, "Orwell" is a game where you're supposed to stop crimes with the use of the new software called "Orwell" in a world that is set in our present. You were the chosen one for the new job as a government agent, alone and in charge of "Orwell". Your only direct communication is "Sykes", another agent speaking to you over a one-way-channel and evaluating your actions and decisions. At first, you're being introduced by a short cutscene about an incident that has just happened: a bombing. Now, your task as an anti-crime agent is to find out who committed the crime and later on arrest him or her. At first, you as the "Orwell"-Agent can observe target people (you start with one that was quite obvious in the opening) with the help of 3 programs: the Reader, something to browse news and websites with, the Listener, to eavesdrop on target people once you've collected their number, and finally the Insider, where you can actively browse through the target's personal computer, once again if you collected a certain data. At first you should be browsing through their "Timelines", a website that is similar to social media that we have, e.g. Facebook and Twitter, collecting basic information of them, something like their name, address, birth date and so on. These information are "datachunks" that you can upload to "Orwell" to fill out the targets profile, but you must be careful, as you will not be able to remove data once uploaded. You will get to know your target pretty fast pretty soon as you can observe everything they do online. Later on, there will be so-called "conflicting datachunks", which include at least 2 datachunks. If you choose one datachunk out of the conflicting pair and upload it, the other datachunk will be disabled, so you have to choose wisely once again. If you've done everything right and chose after your liking you will soon arrest your first suspect, great job! After successfully managing a day, you "log off" of "Orwell" and end your day, your work is over for today. As you progress through the episodes, you'll quickly realize how complicated your "first tutorial task" in your new job get and how everything is connected to each other, but I don't want to spoil all your fun.

"Orwell" features 5 episodes for one price in total, releasing 1 each week, and as of 11/11/2016, 4 episodes are already out.


I definitely do. It's not a very gameplay intensive game, but rather a point and click/drag game, with a bit of thinking involved, however, I think it's very relaxing and it features a packing story. Although, to fully understand the story you have to read everything you find, or you will only get half of the story, which is why I usually need around 90 mins for a full episode, decision making included. The game devs had a really great idea for a new video game and it's almost a bit frightening to decide, whether a person is guilty or not, only based on online data and the game also once again brings up the controversy about surveillance by the government, even in the most private sectors. I mean, you can read what they write to their closest friends and listen to their phone calls. Nonetheless, it's a very innovative game that I really enjoyed, also the soundtrack of the game fits the situation very well and overall, for a 10$ game, "Orwell" is a master piece. I really hope they release a second part of the game or more episodes.

I definitely RECOMMEND the game, and if you're still a bit unsure, you can still try the demo and see for yourself, before you make a decision.
