Award-Winning Game Orwell: Keeping an Eye On You Launches March 31 on iOS
Big Brother has arrived — and it’s you!
MELBOURNE, Australia – March 25, 2020 — Fellow Traveller and Osmotic Studios are pleased to announce their award-winning PC game, Orwell: Keeping an Eye On You is launching for iOS devices on March 31 2020! You will be able to purchase your copy from the App Store for $4.99.
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. Rediscover this award-winning game on iOS: touch mechanics add tactile control for fluid gameplay.
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?
