Big Brother has arrived - and it’s you. Rediscover this award-winning game on iOS: touch mechanics add tactile control for fluid gameplay. 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? Features Investigate the digital lives of citizens. Search web pages, scour through social media posts, dating site profiles, news articles and blogs to find those responsible for a series of terror attacks. Invade the private lives of suspects. Listen in on chat communications, read personal emails, hack PCs, pull medical files, make connections. Find the information you need to know. Determine the relevance of information. Only the information you provide will be seen by the security forces and acted upon. You decide what gets seen and what does not, influencing how the suspects will be perceived. Secure the freedom of the Nation. Find the terrorists so the citizens of the Nation can sleep safe, knowing Orwell is watching over them.

It’s unique, easy to get a hang of, and has an interesting plot. The only downside of this game is that it’s pretty short and doesn’t have a lot of replay value. Really hoping they can add more stories in the future! ### 5/5 — Super fun! *2025-01-04* This was really fun for 2 days! Will there be more episodes coming? ### 5/5 — MAKE MORE *2024-12-17* It is so much fun. ### 5/5 — Nice! *2024-02-28* I initially bought this when it first came to iOS but then refunded because I already had it on PC, but then I realized I have difficulty playing games on my PC, so I bought it again so I can finally progress in it and play it on iPad. Thank you for posting this to iOS! Is it possible for Game Center achievement integration and iCloud save or access to the save file so I can play the same profile on my phone too? That would be cool! ### 5/5 — Really Well Done *2022-06-19* I don’t normally go out of my way to review games, but this one is absolutely worth it for fans of narrative and choice-based games. Multiple endings depending on what you choose to report to your superiors. …Or not report. Love it. Five stars. ### 5/5 — Excellent gameplay *2022-04-03* I wasn’t sure what the game would be like, but the description turned out to be accurate. I was initially concerned that some of the information would be impossible to find, it’s not. It’s literally a game where you use information online(and bank accounts, mail intercepts etc) to track down terrorists. It’s exciting, you will feel exuberant when you prevent death, but you’ll also sympathize with characters( good, bad snd neutral) for a variety of reasons. It’s not real, but it could be. I am obsessed with crime tv/games and I can’t put this game down. When I finish it I will be sad, that’s the only problem. I am an information management professional with a library degree, and I wish that this was my job instead of being a librarian. Combing through information with the assistance of a partner(Symes) is fun and you’re not alone. I have a feeling that a twist is coming soon. I’ll update the review when I win it. If you have any interest in crime investigation buy the game. It’s worth more than $5! ### 5/5 — Obsessed! *2021-12-30* I couldn’t stop playing! I was looking for a fun and interesting game to play and the only time I was disappointed was when the game ended. If you like solving mysteries, this game is for you! ### 5/5 — Fantastic game *2021-12-22* I really enjoyed the unique combination of story and gameplay, with a very interesting cast of characters! Definitely recommended to anyone but especially if you are looking for innovative gameplay and a good narrative to keep you hooked throughout. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2021-02-26* - ## Frequently asked questions about Orwell ### What is Orwell: Keeping an Eye on You about?
