Big brother has arrived - and it's you!

Hey there!
Our three person studio has been working for over two years now on our first game ever, Orwell. Most of this time we have kept quiet, but fortunately this ends now and we can talk a bit about the game.
Orwell puts you in the shoes of an impartial outsider, an operative of The Nation's new secret security system, Orwell. As a terrorist attack rocks The Nation, you will be going through personal files, listening in on conversations and researching the web as you determine who is a suspect. Reporting your findings could have dramatic consequences however, which means you need to really pay attention to the circumstances around the events, and sometimes, be forced to make some really tough decisions.

Our narrative thriller explores themes we all deal with everyday in a modern society: balancing the connections we have on social media against the privacy of information and the security of a nation.
Orwell will be invading your privacy later this year on Windows PC. You can follow the development progress right here on Steam or orwell_game on Twitter.
If you're interested in the game and have questions, feel free to ask away (though we might not be able to answer anything). We will be monitoring the boards regularly, with some help from the folks at Surprise Attack Games.
Cheers
Your Osmotic Team

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…
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?
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.
MATURE CONTENT WARNING
Please note, Orwell includes mature language at multiple points throughout the game as well as mature themes and is not suitable for younger players.
