41 | \r | |
42 | ** HighestExcitement\r | |
43 | The right way to look at it. What's the full price?\r | |
44 | \r | |
45 | ** breell\r | |
46 | You can check HB, the standard price should be\r | |
47 | the same:\r | |

57 | developers.\r | |

91 | ** VictorVrine\r | |
92 | is there a sub where people post links for games that are\r | |
93 | temporarily free? what i used to do was subscribe to a bunch\r | |
94 | of shitty youtube channels who made videos about those but it\r | |
95 | never really works\r | |
96 | \r | |
97 | ** LionelSlothrop\r | |
98 | Yeah its called freegamefindings or something like that\r | |
99 | and gamedeals is another\r | |

104 | This is a fun little game, I finished in one sitting.\r | |
105 | \r | |
106 | ** pr0ghead\r | |
107 | Wasn't that also free about a month ago? Or was that on GOG?\r | |
108 | \r | |
109 | ** NoXPhasma\r | |
110 | Yes, it was free on Humble Bundle. This is the chance to grab\r | |
111 | it for those who missed it.\r | |

121 | OP thank you very much!\r | |

124 | I want to know what does the FOSS community think about this\r | |
125 | game.\r | |
126 | \r | |
127 | ** ase1590\r | |
128 | I want to know what does the FOSS community think about this\r | |
129 | game.\r | |
130 | What about it? It's a game that has a message that advocates\r | |
131 | against government surveillance.\r | |
132 | \r | |
133 | ** Espinosidro\r | |
134 | Interesting interpretation, this is pretty much what I\r | |
135 | wanted to know.\r | |
136 | My question to you is, is it really advocating against\r | |
137 | surveillance? maybe it's trying to show us the security\r | |
138 | benefits of having no privacy.\r | |
139 | \r | |
140 | ** ase1590\r | |
141 | I've finished the game completely. You speak as if you\r | |
142 | have not.\r | |
143 | The whole message at the end was built to encourage\r | |
144 | you, the player, to seriously consider the downsides\r | |
145 | surveillance and the irresponsibility of those using\r | |
146 | the system can have on civilization. Though of course,\r | |
147 | you can totally ignore all of that rationale and simply\r | |
148 | keep blindly following orders from Catherine.\r | |
149 | \r | |
150 | ** Espinosidro\r | |
151 | I have finished the game only once, haven't seen all\r | |
152 | the endings yet. But as far as I can tell the game\r | |
153 | isn't trying to simply tell the player that\r | |
154 | surveillance is bad or anything, it just makes the\r | |
155 | player think about it.\r | |
156 | At the end of the day we can only guess what the\r | |
157 | devs were thinking when making the game.\r | |
158 | \r | |
159 | ** ase1590\r | |
160 | But as far as I can tell the game isn't trying to\r | |
161 | simply tell the player that surveillance is bad\r | |
162 | or anything, it just makes the player think about\r | |
163 | it.\r | |
164 | Right. you're not being forced to pick a decision.\r | |
165 | But you'd have a hard time telling me this game\r | |
166 | was neutral or in favor of surveillance based on\r | |
167 | several plot items in it. Especially with a name\r | |
168 | like Orwell of all things.\r | |
169 | You simply just don't name your game Orwell and\r | |
170 | not make it lean anti-surveillance.\r | |

178 | I was eventually going to buy this game, I'll wait till it's on\r | |
179 | sale :)\r | |
180 | \r | |
181 | ** drislands\r | |
182 | Oh fuck me I just bought this two days ago. Oh well, it was\r | |
183 | definitely worth the money. Excellent game, if a little short!\r | |
184 | \r | |
185 | ** CaptRobovski\r | |
186 | Reminds me of Papers, Please, in the sense that it's an admin\r | |
187 | simulator. Looks interesting!\r | |
