Orwell

At first it was very interesting, but then when I found out that my choices don't influence anything it went to just simple point and click, without any thinking of the right choice. Idea itself isn't bad, but I wanted to have more different consequences after my choices even with "game over"s if I did choose wrong.

Really enjoyed this one. In a nutshell I would call the game a work of interactive fiction (calling out to the IF adventure games of the 80s and 90s), as such - very creatively executed in proper modern fashion. Viewing the world through a system reminds me of Infocom's "A Mind Forever Voyaging" by Steve Meretzky. The game has a few endings, thus the player's choices matter, but maybe slightly less than the presentation and the setting would imply.

Orwell is a point-and-click with consistently sensical logic. You have a resevoir of information and can read it at any time to inform decisions on whether or not information about people is useable in an investigation about a bombing and surrounding people/events. The game sometimes resorts to circumstantial or coincidental reasoning to justify connections between two data points with no concrete evidence, but it's possible I am incorrect since the entire point of the player's role is to make decisions FOR the eponymous advanced program Orwell. Overall, I'd say Orwell is worth both a play and the full price.

Great story, very immersive and beautiful graphics! I loved this game. Sadly it's very short, you can easily finish it in around 4 hours.

The game is an unforgetable experience. But it is also a big challenge! Which information is worth to tell? Which one was sayed in affect and what is serious? You have to deside and you have to live with the consequences. I was demanded the whole time and banned on the screen. Every information could be change the whole story and the destiny of the persons you have under surveillance. You can not say that you will have "fun" at this game. But this is not the aim. It is a great experience for your own to see what you take for the truth. But not everything is good. The game is in my opinion a litte bit short and have a rush ending. Also it is a little bit sad, that the game is only in english. Most of the time it doesn't matter. A none native english talking can unterstand the most of the text. But in Episode 4 and 5 it is a little bit tricky.
