Critic Reviews for Orwell - Keeping an Eye on You
A novel perspective on totalitarian surveillance. Orwell may not make you think, but it should keep you entertained.
Orwell is a lukewarm interactive thriller with several moments that hit hard, but it’s inconsistent and some of the writing is laughably bad
Orwell grabs the problem of how we balance our own liberty and our safety and turns it into a thrilling adventure. It unfolds complex debate points into a dazzling satire, that neatly presents all the relevant arguments as a series of moral problems, dressed up in a frighteningly convincing world.
A smart take on surveillance and a focus on player choice makes Orwell exciting, engaging, and discomforting.
Orwell is a thriller investigation game, but also an interactive way to face the consequences of a dystopian society.

Orwell is a thought-provoking game about privacy, politics, and ethical dilemmas such as sacrificing a few in favor of the whole. With immersive visuals and a multi-layered story, it will instantly pull you in. This game offers high replayability and starts much-needed conversations in this age of technology.
Good for contemplating the line between security surveillance and invasion of privacy.
Orwell is a thought-provoking interactive debate about the politics of privacy and security. It's the kind of game that never actually feels like a game, and it manages to do it well
