Investigators,
Orwell is nominated for the Matthew Crump Cultural Innovation Award at SXSW 2017 alongside That Dragon, Cancer and 1979 Revolution: Black Friday and others, which is a big honor for us! Thanks so much for making this possible!
Also we have just updated the game to Version 1.0.6236 across all platforms, which is mainly intended to add free window resizing and fix various crashes and instabilities. You can find patchnotes below.
Please note that this patch doesn't include the Episode Selection feature yet. The feature will most likely be released with a February update.
Stay vigilant!
Your Osmotic Studios Team
