Big Brother is watching you.
Right now, you can get the surveillance state simulator Orwell for free on Humble Bundle. All you need to do is log in, go here, click add to cart, check out, and a key will be sent to you. And you can claim it for free through Saturday.
Big Brother has arrived – and it’s you. Investigate the lives of citizens to find those responsible for a series of terror attacks. Information from the internet, personal communications and private files are all accessible to you. But, be warned, the information you supply will have consequences…
Orwell is a new governmental security program that has the power to survey the online presence of every person in The Nation. It can monitor all personal communications and access any computer. To preserve the privacy of citizens, human researchers examine the data Orwell finds and decide which pieces of information should be passed on to the security forces, and which should be rejected.
Selected from thousands of candidates, you are Orwell’s first human researcher. And when a terror attack rocks the Nation’s capital city of Bonton, Orwell, and you, are immediately put to the test. Starting with a single person of interest, you’ll help the security forces build out and profile a network of potential culprits.
But are these people really terrorists? What does the information you reveal to Orwell say about them? What if you find out things about them that not even their loved ones know? What is the real price of maintaining the security that the Nation is yearning for?
Orwell offers a number of ethical and moral quandaries to its players. And, just looking at it, it’s about as subtle as a brick to the face. But such is life sometimes, eh? Either way, you can snag it on Humble Bundle’s dime, so I’d say go for it.
