Great game

Orwell is a great game if you’ve got a couple hours to kill! 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!

Super fun!

This was really fun for 2 days! Will there be more episodes coming?

MAKE MORE

It is so much fun.

Nice!

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!

Really Well Done

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.

Excellent gameplay

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!

Obsessed!

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!

Fantastic game

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.

Awesome

読み物とビジュアルとして面白い

ゲームでスキャナーダークリー的な表現をするにはこれしかない、という気がした。推理なので頭がごちゃごちゃはするけど、発想が素晴らしい。
次回はよりDEEPな世界を見せて欲しい。

Absolutely Encapsulating!

This app is truly so amazing! The art style immediately grabbed my attention, but I was a bit on the edge about paying $5 for it. Let me tell you, it is so worth it. I would price this game at $15 based on what I’ve played so far; and I’m only on day two. The game guides you along smoothly as you play, while still giving you a very important role to uphold. Your actions are vital to this story. The only reason I would suggest to not download this game is because of its heavy and dark topic and plot. Stopping terrorists is the whole gameplay. So if you aren’t comfortable with that, I wouldn’t suggest playing this. But in all other aspects, this is one of the best games I’ve played. Period.

これからありうる未来

全ての通信ツールを分析し、真相に迫っていく話。
楽しく遊ばせて頂きました。
2の日本語化、携帯アプリでの発売も心待ちにしてます。
自分の選択次第で物語が変化していくので、非常に考えさせられます。
元は1949年の小説がモデルですが、遠くない未来私達にも起こりうるのではないでしょうか。

【改善希望点】

この人物の情報は物語の結末に大きく左右される点と、パーソナルストーリーを見れるのがこのゲームの醍醐味だと思うので、改善を求めます。

So much better than expected

I’m not sure what I was expecting, but this game is so unique and amazing and thought provoking and FUN. I finished it in three days because I couldn’t put it down, and I was FULLY engaged the entire time. I loved the style, the story and the way the player interacts with the story actually makes sense. I’ve played $30 console games that aren’t half as entertaining as this $5.00 game! Now I’m off to see if the internet knows of any games like this one... YOU should just play it.

App says compatible with IPad but it’s not!

I paid £4.99 for this game. It took my money then when it downloaded, I got a message at the beginning of the game to say “I might suffer crashes during gameplay” because my device wasn’t compatible. The App said it was compatible. Refund please. Not happy!

Response from developer

Sorry about the issue with the game! I suspect you are running the game on an older iPad than stated in the store description (e.g. iPad Air 1st Gen). Unfortunately, we cannot exclude these devices manually. I will need to review what we can do about a refund. Please send a short mail with the store receipt to support@osmoticstudios.com and we will get back to you.

A way to improve

This game is a great one, and haven’t played anything quite like this in a while. I love this game and definitely recommend purchasing.
However, I would love if more cases/investigations could be added as the game it quite short!

Needs iCloud support

Great adaptation of the PC game but there doesn’t seem to be the ability to pick up where you leave off on other devices. Would love to play on my phone at work, then switch to my iPad at home.

Worth the money

There were so many twists and turns, and I was thoroughly impressed with the storytelling. The “datachunks” you collect actually affect the storyline, and will do so in ways that aren’t obvious. I completed it in a day, but the length was perfect; the story was always fast paced and it didn’t feel like it was dragging on. My only feedback is that I wish there were more profile picture options, and that I would like to see a final optional recap about how each choice influenced the story. Overall, I’m extremely happy I purchased this game, and I’d love to see a sequel :)
