Congratulations! You've been accepted into the Orwell program, a data collection network allowing us to gain an edge on tracking down suspected criminals through every online outlet necessary. Social media? News sites? Blog posts? Bank transactions? They're all fair game. And it's up to you to use the information you can find to keep the authorities informed on potential threats to the security of The Nation.
''[[http://store.steampowered.com/app/491950/ Orwell]]'' is an episodic point-and-click game released in weekly instalments in 2016 by German developer Osmotic Studios and published by Surprise Attack. The gameplay is built around finding leads and related documents through uploading "datachunks" containing presumably important information to the titular surveillance database. The story starts off with you being tasked to investigate someone who was found at the scene of a bombing. However, just as you feel like you've gathered enough incriminating evidence, it becomes more and more apparent that there's a lot more to the bombing than just this one suspect...

!!''Orwell'' contains examples of:
* AllInTheManual: The characters depicted in the player icons do actually have names, revealed in the game's Steam trading cards.
* InterfaceScrew: [[spoiler:Anything that's hacked appears in total gibberish. Taken to a logical extreme when Orwell itself gets hacked in episode 4, forcing the player to log out of the game.]]
