Update to Version 1.2 (Changelog)

Investigators, as you may know, over the recent months we have been very busy working on season two of Orwell, Orwell: Ignorance is Strength, which you can wishlist here: http://store.steampowered.com/app/633060/Orwell_Ignorance_is_Strength/ During the development we have solved a lot of issues with the game's technical base which we also want to apply to the original Orwell game. We're releasing these improvements with Orwell 1.2 today! Most notably we increased the game's performance in terms of image loading times and memory usage, but also fixed a nasty bug that sometimes caused already discovered conflicted datachunks to be displayed as not being discovered, causing some confusion (this mainly occurred during Episode 2). Note: Your saved profiles are NOT backwards compatible, which means a 1.2 profile won't necessarily load on a version 1.1 game client. Please update the game on any devices to version 1.2 to avoid running into this issue. As always you can find the full changelog below. Stay vigilant, the Osmotic Studios team

  • fixed a variety of typos
  • SPOILER EPISODE 1: [SPOILER]changed an adviser commentary in regard to Cassandra being depressive that could be out of context if the player didn't add a datachunk on her attitude before[/SPOILER]
  • SPOILER EPISODE 2: [SPOILER]prevented that the player could solve the objective on Abraham's profession before having added the datachunk on his students and the number of protests, which would then result in a logical inconsistency[/SPOILER]
  • SPOILER EPISODE 3: [SPOILER]fixed wrong titles of various people on the defaced Party people website[/SPOILER]
  • SPOILER EPISODE 5: [SPOILER]added a new commentary in which Catherine warns the player when opening her PC's desktop that further investigating her will have consequences[/SPOILER]

  • fixed a bug that prevented already discovered conflicted datachunks to be shown as discovered in the datachunk information window of their counterparts if those datachunks were on a website that was updated several times (this could occur mainly on the Thought website in Episode 2)

  • fixed a bug of wrong spacing between insider bookmarks
  • fixed a bug that led to too much space at the bottom of some websites

  • fixed a bug where images on Insider devices were not displayed correctly when opening documents for the first time
  • fixed a savegame bug which could occur when the day was completed while an adviser commentary was still waiting to be displayed
  • fixed a bug that sometimes led to datachunk boxes not fitting their text in Listener calls after loading a savegame

  • SPOILER EPISODE 5: [SPOILER]fixed a bug where the "uploads remaining" label was displayed after loading a game even though there weren't any uploads left[/SPOILER]

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?

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.

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.
