Mediocre

I tried to like it, but it is just way to slow and I feel like my actions do not have any real consequence. It consist of reading text and highlighting sentences with relevant data. Sometimes you can postpone some data and must resolve a conflict. But I always have an impression, that the game just want certain data to be extracted from texts and when I do not do it I just cannot continue. I must say fourth and fifth chapters are very well written, so that why I give 3 stars, I was prepared for just two.

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.

Game Broke out of nowhere

My game bugged out, and i cannot progress because of a glitch. Awesome. Spoilers: After the first day, i was told to inspect goldberg or whatever, and when i tried to add information, it told me it was the wrong profile, despite the game telling me who it was for. I think a picture of goldberg belongs in Goldberg's profile right? WRONG.

Great Blend of Puzzle and Narrative

Orwell is only getting more relevant in the years since it’s release given it’s subject matter of government surveillance. It is kind of a visual novel puzzle game where you navigate different platforms finding bits of info that you can tag to the database which in turn can find you more info. As you go on you start to unravel a story of who was behind the bombings. The bits of info are highlighted so you can’t miss them and you also don’t always have to tag them. This is because some info is out of context. For instance someone saying that they are being tortured by cupcakes is obviously not actual torture but you can still tag the person involved as a torturer. Having the discretion is nice but there are other times where you have to tag certain data to progress that I don’t feel was data that must have been tagged or as relevant as the game made it. I also don’t like how you can’t untag data. I also felt that at the end of the game there was supposed to be multiple ways to handle the outcome but I could only see one or possibly two. I don’t know why the other ways weren’t available to me as I can’t think of a story reason that I shouldn’t have been able to pull off what i wanted. The story was good but the twists near the end were simply fantastic. The UI for the game was easy to get used to and had a good design. I also liked how new parts of the software were revealed as they became needed. The game has no voice acting but that wasn’t an issue wand made sense given the fact that outside of recorded calls this was all just you at a computer. The puzzle aspect was that you have to scour the various blogs; calls; emails; etc to find info you can use to further the game as well as provide additional depth details and context.

Stunning game, to make you think.

I never expected to sit down and play this goame to completion is a single session. It's now 3am on a Monday Morning, and I have work in 5hrs LOL This game is simple, and yet stunning, you really get inside the heads of the characters. It's an ideal game for people who DON'T like video games, it really sucks you in.. The visuals are good, but not amazing, and any Windows XP laptop will run this game. The story is brilliant, and keeps you engaged. $10 very well spent, and I have just bought the sequel ;-)
