About Orwell: Keeping an Eye On You
Orwell: Keeping an Eye On You is a surveillance thriller developed by Osmotic Studios and published by Daedalic Entertainment. Steam release date: 27 October 2016.
Orwell puts you in front of a government surveillance program after a bomb goes off in a public square. You read news sites, blogs, social profiles and private chats, then decide which pieces of information get passed on to the agent in the field. The catch is that every fragment can be read in more than one way, and once you hand something over it cannot be taken back. Over five episodes the case widens, the suspects become real people, and you are left wondering how much security is worth the privacy it costs.
