Hello investigators,
Today we are excited to release a brand new update for Orwell, an update that introduces one of the most requested features we've had from you all!
The Rewind Update will allow all players who have completed the game to "rewind" their save to the beginning of any chosen day, erasing all choices and allowing them to continue and explore other paths. Want to see how things pan out in day three if you made some other choices? Simply select day 3 from the menu and it's almost as if Symes has accidentally deleted all the Datachunks you submitted in days three, four and five!
To access the Episode Selection feature, you will need to access the Profile Options area. The Episode selection button will be locked until you have completed the game at least once, however after completion, it will be available for all new and existing profiles. Any unlocked episode is colored while the rest is grayed out. Click on the episode you want to revert your progress to, then click "Load Episode" and confirm.
Be aware that loading a previous episode PERMANENTLY reverts your progress to the beginning of that episode. This cannot be undone, so make sure you are willing to revert your save before doing so!
We know that the update has taken quite some time. Messing around with save games is never an easy task for developers, so the team at Osmotic has been taking their time to ensure it is done correctly. Initial testing shows that everything is operational, however they may be some fringe cases with some problems. Please report those cases in the Steam forums, so we can make sure that they don't slip through the cracks.
In other news, Osmotic and Surprise Attack Games will be attending GDC 2017, where Osmotic will be hosting an Orwell booth in the IGF Finalist area. We are honoured to be up for the Excellence in Narrative Award, and we can't wait to meet all the devs that will be attending! If you are going to the show, make sure you stop on by and meet the team!
During next week, DRM-free fans can pick up a copy of Orwell on on other stroes! The build will be on parity with the Steam build, so if you have some friends who want to hide from the prying eyes of DRM, make sure you let them know.
Finally, Surprise Attack Games will be heading along to PAX East, and will be showcasing Orwell alongside their other titles. You can find them in the PAX Aus Roadshow area, marked clearly in the show guide, and a giant sign above the booth on the show floor. Make sure you head along and show your support if you're making it out to Boston this year!

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?
Key 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.
