13. Orwell: Keeping an Eye on You
Orwell: Keeping an Eye on You Gameplay
Inspired by George Orwell’s seminal dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, Orwell: Keeping an Eye on You is set in an authoritarian-ruled country called The Nation. After a series of terrorist attacks on The Nation’s capital, it’s up to you to use Orwell, a sophisticated government program capable of accessing every citizen’s digital activity, to uncover the identities of the terrorists. Unlike most detective games, crime scenes and suspects are never investigated in person. Instead, the player accesses suspects’ social media posts, emails, dating profiles, and personal files to gather clues and progress the investigation.
The gameplay of Orwell takes place on screens and has you accessing people’s digital communications for clues.
Funny cat videos are always a must watch – even in fictional nations under authoritarian rule.
