I just completed my first playthrough and I quite liked the game. I won't go into the obvious things here (gameplay, basic story, etc. - this is covered in the description and other user review), but here's my opinion on the whole thing: Assuming you're aware of the fact that this game is mostly about the story, the fictional events that happen, the uncovering of facts, then this can be a great game. Just try to >BE< that Orwell investigator in front of the screen, try to think the way he/she would. If you can achieve that, I think you'll enjoy the game. I agree, in chapter 3 and 4 (of a total 5), the task becomes a bit boring and there's no ovious consequence of submitting (or not submitting) certain data chunks, but chapter 5 quickly became interesting again when everything is revealed (and other events happen). Sometimes, however, the story and connections between the targets seem a bit artificial and I feel that this could have been done better, but, in a nutshell, I enjoyed it and decided to rate it a 4 out of 5. By the way, I finished the game in 7,5 hours and read through pretty much all of the in-game content. As such, I also wouldn't call it short.
