Investigators,
We have some great news! Today we are proud to announce that Orwell will be released as a five-part series on a weekly schedule! The first episode "The Clocks were Striking Thirteen" is available right now as a free demo via Steam!
In this episode, the player is recruited into the Orwell program and, following a terrorist attack, is given their first target to investigate. Cassandra Watergate is a young woman with a criminal record who was spotted by surveillance cameras at the site of the bombing. Digging into her social media, chat messages and online presence, the player starts to uncover a web of connections and a mysterious group who might be involved in the attack.
If you enjoy the first episode (and we hope you do), you can pre-order the game directly on Steam to ensure that you gain access to the next episode as soon as it drops. The best news - your save game from the demo will work with the full version of the game!
