Intriguing and thought-provoking

I found this game to be a lot of fun and thought-provoking. It had me thinking between sessions about the conspiracies involved and who was guilty. It's a short game, and the only interaction that you have is uploading data to the government computer, so it comes across as more of an interactive story than a full-out game. The premise that Orwell only has access to the data chunks that you upload takes some getting used to, and they are very literal in their interpretation. Now I'm pestering my friend to try this game out so that I have someone to talk about the investigation with! If you're running it on Linux, it didn't work for me on Debian 8, but ran alright in a virtual machine with Ubuntu 16.04.

Too straight forward

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.

Modern Interactive Fiction

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.

A good game for thinking

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.

Very good but short game

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.
