A glimpse into an Orwellian society
In some ways I am finding this game disturbing. It is easy to envision how such an oppressive, totalitarian society could develop and how the members of that society are pitted against each other. It starts off easy enough, report bad people to the police, send innocuous reports profiling your tenants. This, however the proverbial slippery slope. How far will you got to preserve the peace? What is the price for betraying the neighbors you serve? As far as the mechanics of the game; there's a shallow learning curve to understanding the controls. All interactions and navigation are mouse driven. The stylized, simplistic graphics emphasize the bleak world in which you are playing. The audio is akin to the mumbling gibberish used in The Sims, although it does get repetitive after a while. The background music fits well. The plot itself is straightforward, with clearly defined tasks to be completed in order to progress through the narrative. If you are someone who likes being nosey and prying into your neighbors' lives, this game might be right up your alley - provided you can also stomach destroying their lives. I've found it captivating, and keep expecting the other shoe to drop in this surveillance state.
