Good idea, bad execution
A terrorist attack has taken place, and it's up to you to discover who is behind it all, using a computer terminal and free access to everyone's personal communications, whether e-mail, chat or on the phone. Throughout the investigation you'll scour dozens of different documents and try to uncover a network of activists you suspect of orchestrating the attack. But as you continue searching for the culprit, more and more attacks take place, and more innocent lives are lost. Sounds fairly interesting, but your job isn't exactly to investigate, rather to transfer whatever data you find to your supervisor. To do that you don't really need to read the different documents, since relevant data will be highlighted for you, and it's up to you to decide if it's important enough to pass to your boss, or whether to discard it. That is, until you get stuck, and realize the piece of information you thought superfluous is actually something you need to pass along to your supervisor, for the game to continue. Plot-wise, nothing makes sense - the people you follow are glorified keyboard crusaders, and half of the information you dig up that has some value seems to be things a government ought to have on file - such as names, birth dates, photos, places of work, phone numbers, etc. The other data you need is conveniently given on-line through conversations between the different members of the activist network, despite knowing the government is spying on them. There's also an amazing hacker, that seems to hack from his personal computer, with all his personal info on it. There's also no sense of urgency, despite trying to stop a terror attack, and there's no need to manage your time wisely - no need to follow two conversations at once, to decide which person to focus on, etc. Instead every scrap of information you come across is saved forever on the government's computers for you to look at even days later. The ending is also bad, since the attack's motive makes no sense.
