Well, once more Humble Bundle is bestowing upon us another free game and it's not even holiday time or anything! Consider it an early (really early) Christmas present? Or maybe a Halloween treat? Either way you have about a day left to grab Orwell for free so try not to dawdle. Don't run either. Running indoors can be quite hazardous. Walk calmly to your nearest internet connected device please and thank you.
Orwell has been on my radar for a while now after seeing a few reviews on YouTube that concluded the game was generally good. According to the Humble product description page, "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." Heavy stuff...
Orwell comes from Osmotic Studios, a three person games studio located in the beautiful city of Hamburg, Germany. So far they have two games under their belt, both under the Orwell umbrella. If you find the freebie from Humble Bundle scratches your itch and want more Orwell to satisfy you grab a copy of Orwell: Ignorance is Strength, the second season of the story line for a very reasonable $10 (USD). Per Osmotic's official website, "Step into the shoes of a government official in a top-secret department of the Orwell surveillance program. A political crisis has arisen across borders, threatening to plunge neighboring Parges into violent civil unrest and embarrass the ruling Party of the Nation. Given the power to both uncover and fabricate 'the truth', you must decide for yourself how far you will go in the service of your country and whether the truth is sacred or ignorance is strength." More heavy stuff...let us know in the comments below if you liked or disliked Orwell and why! Happy (free) gaming!
