Orwell: Keeping an Eye On You

A forma como a história desse jogo se desenrola é muito interessante. Dá para zerar em cerca de 4 a 5 horas, e eu curti bastante o ritmo.

It was entertaining, but I didn't manage to choose what I wanted as a finale, so the end felt crumpled

The ending had a nice touch ;) I would definitely recommend the game

╰┈➤ [b] Orwell: Keeping an Eye on You [/b] .　 . • ☆ Time Played at Review: 7.7 hr (100% Achievements) Orwell: Keeping an Eye on You is an interactive visual novel in which you play as a digital detective, working to uncover the truth behind a suspected terrorist attack in The Nation's capital. Scour webpages, social media, and citizens' personal devices for information to share with your superiors. While not the most exciting game, Orwell managed to keep me engaged and questioning until it's (amazing) ending. While the story is relatively short, taking me around 4.5 hours to complete my first play through, there are a few alternate story paths that can be completed if you really enjoy the game. While I'm not sure there is enough content to justify picking this game up at full price, if you like visual novels and are looking for a good mystery to unravel, try grabbing Orwell next time its on sale.

However, the soundtrack/effects are perfect for the mystery/thriller vibe Orwell is going for and is used in a way that helps enhance the reading experience (e.g., sound effects going off when shocking information is uncovered) Visuals: ☐ So pretty I stopped to stare at the trees ☐ Clean and polished, fits the game well ☐ Distinct style that grows on you ☒ Basic visuals, but nothing to write home about ☐ Some nice moments, but rough overall ☐ Inconsistent quality across areas/scenes ☐ Graphics? No idea, I turned everything to low Note: The graphics are minimalistic and clean, suiting the game's style. One thing to note is that there are no customization options for the onscreen text, which may be an issue for people who have challenges with reading certain fonts/colors considering the game is essentially an interactive novel. Controls: ☐ Fully customizable ☒ Intuitive & responsive ☐ Requires getting used to ☐ Fighting the UI is half the game Replayability: ☐ Send help, I forgot what sunlight looks like ☐ High ☐ Moderate ☐ Low ☒ Fun once, now I just stare at it in my library Note: I really enjoyed my first play through of Orwell. The story is captivating and getting to uncover new/conflicting pieces of the puzzle bit by bit is a really interesting concept. Unfortunately, I found my subsequent achievement playthroughs to be quite tedious, since different story routes are basically identical except for minor variations not uncovered until the very end of the chapter. Worth the Price?: ☐ 110%, without hesitation ☒ If you can get it on sale ☐ Not really ☐ Wait for updates/DLC ☐ Bought it, played it, refunded it :,( ˚₊‧꒰ა . ————— ˗ˏˋ ✮ ˎˊ˗ ————— ˖ ໒꒱ ‧₊˚

一周プレイしました　最後急にEND入って意図しない終わりになっちゃったけど... ストーリー良し、ギミック良し。 UI△ 日本語訳は...お世辞にもいいとは言えない　誤字脱字もあり マルチENDなのにリプレイしにくいのも難点　クリア後にチャプター選択式でプレイできたらよかった セールで買ったからおすすめにできるけどそうじゃなかったらおすすめしづらいかも

Me ha encantado... lo jugué dos veces, la primera creo que encarcelé a inocentes... la segunda... creo que también... jajaja. pero en un tiempo volveré a intentarlo y llegaré al fondo del asunto. Estoy seguro de que hay mucha más gente implicada... Lástima que la segunda parte no esté en español.

A well written, thoughtful puzzle game where your choices matter, and those choices are morally complex. It presents the pros and cons of the surveillance versus privacy issue, and gives you the freedom to choose where you stand on the matter rather than preaching at you.

Great game that talks about important things. It's pretty short but your decisions really influence the gameplay and the ending, so I'm probably going to replay it multiple times to see how the story would've unraveled if I made different choices. The poly art isn't really my taste but the writing is great. Honestly I'd recommend this game to everyone to play at least once since it's pretty unique and makes you think, also I think the topics are getting more and more relevant.
