With not a whole lot of options at the beginning of the game to choose which animal gets what role in the farm, or even a little more explanation why come choices go the way they do, it was still interesting to follow the 1945 story and compare it to today's day in age. While there are a few more endings I'm able to get, I'll be going back to the game to see how I may be able to get there by forcing a few choices through.

After playing Orwell’s Animal Farm, I found myself gobbling up every analysis I could find on the original work and ultimately settling into bed with a copy of the book found online. From the subversion of politics through the subversion of language and logic to reducing complex ideals to meaningless catchphrases, it was truly eye-opening just how Orwellian the past few years have been — although not the way in which the word has been thrown around after January 6th. The team’s unique history with totalitarianism made them competent candidates for the game version of this compelling allegorical tale, and I find myself still trying to wrap my head around the experience with these additional layers of context. If you’re looking for an incredibly memorable and surprisingly emotional refresher on this all-too important story, look no further than Orwell’s Animal Farm.
