Agents, We have updated The Office client of Orwell to Version 1.1. This effort is meant to aid agents in their duties by notifying them better and allowing them to use multiple instances of the same information from the Profiler to achieve a certain effect. In addition we were able to identify and fix some technical issues with the client. Please refer to the memo titled "Version 1.1 - Patch notes" below for further details. We're planning to further improve the Orwell system in the future for an even better user experience. Please note: In case you have a relative and/or friend who would fit the Orwell program, or haven't applied for service yourself, application fees for Orwell are currently 20% off for a limited time period. Also, any persons not having fulfilled their duty as an investigator may now sign up for thae Bonton Bombings case (also known as "Keeping an Eye On You") at 50% of the usual fee. Orwell and The Office appreciate your ongoing efforts for The Nation. The Office Administration

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 neighbouring 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.

Orwell: Ignorance is Strength is the second season of the award winning surveillance thriller - Orwell. It will release as a weekly episodic series and will introduce new mechanics and features to the series, providing players with greater agency to direct their investigation and even the power to use information they gather to influence public opinion. The story takes place in parallel to the events of the first season and reveals a darker, more secret side to the Orwell program.

Praise for Orwell:

“Grabs the problem of how we balance our own liberty and our safety and turns it into a thrilling adventure.” – Polygon

“In an age where so much personal information is willingly released by so many, Orwell brilliantly explores the implications of this data being misinterpreted.” – GameSpot

"A harrowing look into a reality where Big Brother is always watching" - Rock Paper Shotgun
