Is it 1984 yet?

<span class="bold">Orwell</span>, a surveillance simulator where you monitor the lives of others to identify potential terrorists, is now available, DRM-free on GOG.com, with a 25% launch discount!

We are being watched. The government has a secret system, a machine that spies on us every hour of every day. Its name is Orwell. You've been selected to act as its human collaborator, a researcher who reviews the data it gathers and decides which pieces are relevant to your terrorist investigation. Tread carefully: You're holding our Nation's freedom in your hands.

For additional ambiance, get the <span class="bold">Deluxe Edition</span> (also 25% off) or grab the OST <span class="bold">separately</span>.

The 25% discounts will last until March 9, 2PM UTC.

JudasIscariot: Reminds me more of this :P
nice picture..........

But the BB (Big Brother) thing seems to be going on in the netherlands from the start, if we can trust the search results, the dutch are the most and best in tapping anything that can be tapped, from a nice cold beer which the dutch call 'biertjuh'
to tapping of every analog and or digital, and this year they get to tap and collect every single byte of data, all to 'protect the people',(which they endangred in the first palce by open borders) which could easily be done and cheaper ( would also bring back/create tons of jobs) by bringing back border control and checks with trained people to keep things safe.
Plasterk is the man in charge and he is called tapsterk now, google for tapsterk and if you can read dutch you will find info regarding the tapping initiated by Ronald Plasterk.

If they had been more carefull with security and checks they would not have to resort to schemes like these and tapping the living daylights out of their 'voters' ( the people).

Actually its SIM OBAMA since he is the one who expanded the surveillance and lied about it - Just ask Snowden or watch the Snowden documentary which was in the cinema last year.

morolf: As for that game, sounds like a disturbing concept...is it meant as criticism of mass surveillance or actually justifying it???
Spot on! I had kinda the same problem with the game Mainline:

There actually were some German Neonazis who created something like this back in the early 1990s:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KZ_Manager

And when I went to school in the 1990s I had a really unpleasant classmate (asshole who bullied me, should have thrown him down the stairs) who fantasized about a slavery simulation (euphemistically called a "cotton manager").
So there probably would be a market for such games, unfortunately.

Mainlining, Need to Know (on the upcoming list), and now this. I'm kind of surprised by how many surveillance games are coming out lately. I had mixed feelings about the Mainlining demo, but I'm interested to know the differences between these three games.
