This is a very good game, so buy it!

The game is fairly linear, but that is also part of the constraints of the system, you can only flag up the things Orwell has identified as possibly important. This makes sense in the world, but sometimes can be a little frustrating when you can make some associations and realisations before the game does.

But really that is missing the point of the experience.

This game starts off easily and you don't have too much investment other than catching the perpertrators, however, as you begin to see the results of what you are uploading play out, you begin to get more personally involved in the situation and the decisions you are making. This is when the game really excels.

There was a particular piece in one chapter where I waited an age before finally declaring a piece of information. The outcome I dreaded, but knew would happen, occured, and it was all my fault. It twisted me up inside, but I still felt like I was doing the right thing, despite the consequences of what happened.

This is definitely an experience I recommend.
