Orwell: Keeping an Eye On You

pretty disappointed at how limited the game is. it doesn't seem like it really wants you to read and make choices. you just open documents and select pre-highlighted phrases. i thought this would go away after doing the first day/tutorial but it didn't. i wanted to add stuff i was finding while reading different pages of websites, identifying patterns, etc. but it wasn't interact-able. i couldn't move photos to certain profiles when identified photos of them on the schools website or add info about their jobs. it really only let me pick out what it wanted me to, the game didn't really let me think for myself. obviously haven't completed it fully but given that a lot of the other reviews mention the game is centered on this first case and fairly short i'm really not interested after the first couple of days.

[h1] 他战胜了自己！他热爱老大哥！ [/h1] 真正的有效统治都是「背面奥威尔」「正面赫胥黎」 「背面奥威尔」 统治的野心与不平等的现实是不能暴露出来的 国家机器与唯一合法使用暴力是必须拥有的 审查制度与老大哥的双眼是永远存于暗处的 「正面赫胥黎」 这是一个美丽的新世界，我们掘弃了过往的旧习与罪恶，迎接美好的明天 我们的一切存在都是为了公众利益与群体的未来，不得已的个人自由的牺牲是难免的 你可以享受一切，只要不反抗我们的统治 连接「背面奥威尔」与「正面赫胥黎」的是： 给予最广泛的大众以希望 给予最愚昧的群众以表象 给予最聪明的精英以交换 给予最坚韧的士族以消亡

insanely good game with a short run time with a message becoming even more important *ahem* UK government *ahem*

Одна ключевая ошибка вестернов в том, что они полагают винтики тоталитарной машины думающими и заботящимися о чьем-то благе, такими, как Саймс. На деле же проблема тоталитарных стран в том, что большинство ее граждан живут по инерции, не приходя в сознание и, как истинные приспособленцы, мотивированы лишь сиюминутной личной выгодой. и только таким позволяет совесть вносить свою лепту в работу системы.

"There's a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part; you can't even tacitly take part. And you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon all the apparatus and you've got to make it stop. And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from working at all." - Mario Savio

Никакой жалости к террористам. Слава Арстоцке!

If you're into dystopian indie games, I'd recommend Beholder first, and this one second.
