breell

VictorVrine
+ +is there a sub where people post links for games that are temporarily free? what i used to do was subscribe to a bunch of shitty youtube channels who made videos about those but it never really works
LionelSlothrop
+ +Yeah its called freegamefindings or something like that and gamedeals is another
mylittlemoonfey
+ +This is a fun little game, I finished in one sitting.
pr0ghead
+ +Wasn't that also free about a month ago? Or was that on GOG?
NoXPhasma
+ +Yes, it was free on Humble Bundle. This is the chance to grab it for those who missed it.

+ +Shit, I paid for this a while back. It's not bad.
NapoleonTheCake
+ +OP thank you very much!
Espinosidro
+ +I want to know what does the FOSS community think about this game.

+ +I want to know what does the FOSS community think about this game.
What about it? It's a game that has a message that advocates against government surveillance.
Espinosidro
+ +Interesting interpretation, this is pretty much what I wanted to know.
My question to you is, is it really advocating against surveillance? maybe it's trying to show us the security benefits of having no privacy.
ase1590
+ +I've finished the game completely. You speak as if you have not.
The whole message at the end was built to encourage you, the player, to seriously consider the downsides surveillance and the irresponsibility of those using the system can have on civilization. Though of course, you can totally ignore all of that rationale and simply keep blindly following orders from Catherine.
Espinosidro
+ +I have finished the game only once, haven't seen all the endings yet. But as far as I can tell the game isn't trying to simply tell the player that surveillance is bad or anything, it just makes the player think about it.
At the end of the day we can only guess what the devs were thinking when making the game.
ase1590
+ +But as far as I can tell the game isn't trying to simply tell the player that surveillance is bad or anything, it just makes the player think about it.
Right. you're not being forced to pick a decision.
But you'd have a hard time telling me this game was neutral or in favor of surveillance based on several plot items in it. Especially with a name like Orwell of all things.
You simply just don't name your game Orwell and not make it lean anti-surveillance.
MCHerb
+ +I was eventually going to buy this game, I'll wait till it's on sale :)
drislands
+ +Oh fuck me I just bought this two days ago. Oh well, it was definitely worth the money. Excellent game, if a little short!
CaptRobovski
+ +Reminds me of Papers, Please, in the sense that it's an admin simulator. Looks interesting!
Draconicrose_
+ +I really liked this game. Definitely packs a but of an emotional punch.
