So that you’re aware, episodes of Orwell: Ignorance is Strength go live as game updates and will release on these dates:
- Episode One: Thesis - Out now!
- Episode Two: Antithesis - March 8
- Episode Three: Synthesis - March 22
Get ready for a dark story of fake news, power and betrayal as you step into the shoes of a government official recruited to “The Office”, a top-secret department of the Orwell program. Through surveillance of phone calls, messages, websites, computers and mobile phones, you’ll choose what information is added to the Orwell system and what is not, influencing how characters are perceived and how the story unfolds.
Set parallel to the events of the original game, Season Two will grant you access to an enhanced build of Orwell, able to go further and influence what information goes out to the public. Given the power to both uncover and fabricate “the truth”, you will ultimately have to decide whether the truth is sacred or ignorance is strength.
In Episode One: Thesis, a political crisis threatens to plunge The Nation and its neighbour, Parges, into violent civil unrest. An officer of the Pargesian military has gone missing and the only clue is a phone call between the missing officer and Raban Vhart, a controversial Pargesian blogger now living in The Nation. With tensions rising between and within the two countries, you must investigate both the disappearance and Vhart in an attempt to diffuse the situation.
We hope you love the experience that awaits you in episode one, and we can’t wait to roll out episodes two and three, where we continue to ratchet up the tension to the season’s dramatic conclusion.
Be sure to let us know what you think of the first episode in the Community Hub on Steam and via social media.
