About

Orwell: Keeping an Eye on You is a 2016 narrative-driven investigation game that puts you in the role of a surveillance operative for a dystopian government. Rather than action-focused gameplay, this title emphasizes story and moral choice as you dig through citizens' digital lives to uncover terror attack perpetrators. The game's unique premise and focus on consequence-driven storytelling make it stand out in the indie adventure space.

Running Orwell is incredibly accessible on modern hardware, as the game prioritizes artistic presentation over cutting-edge graphics. With just 4 GB RAM minimum, even budget GPUs will deliver solid FPS performance—you're looking at well over 60 FPS on entry-level graphics cards at 1080p. This isn't a demanding benchmark title, meaning older systems and integrated graphics can handle it without adjusting performance settings.

With a rating of 69/100, Orwell offers a compelling experience for players interested in narrative-driven games and moral dilemmas. If you enjoy story-heavy titles over fast-paced action, it's worth checking out despite the middling score.

Performance profile

Released in October 2016, Orwell: Keeping an Eye on You sits in the DirectX 11 generation. Comfortable on any modern mid-range GPU at 1440p; even an RTX 3050 or RX 6600 typically delivers 4K60 at High settings.

Simulation titles like Orwell: Keeping an Eye on You are heavily CPU-dependent — physics, AI and world state dominate the frame budget. Prioritise a CPU with strong single-thread performance and fast RAM over raw GPU power.

Extremely light — Orwell: Keeping an Eye on You runs at 60 FPS 1080p on any integrated GPU (Intel Iris Xe, AMD Radeon Graphics) or a decade-old discrete card like the GTX 1050. A current-gen RTX 4060 pushes 4K Ultra without effort.

Storyline

Big Brother has arrived - and it’s you. Investigate the lives of citizens to find those responsible for a series of terror attacks. Information from the internet, personal communications and private files are all accessible to you. But, be warned, the information you supply will have consequences… Orwell is a new governmental security program that has the power to survey the online presence of every person in The Nation. It can monitor all personal communications and access any computer. To preserve the privacy of citizens, human researchers examine the data Orwell finds and decide which pieces of information should be passed on to the security forces, and which should be rejected. Selected from thousands of candidates, you are Orwell’s first human researcher. And when a terror attack rocks the Nation’s capital city of Bonton, Orwell, and you, are immediately put to the test. Starting with a single person of interest, you'll help the security forces build out and profile a network of potential culprits. But are these people really terrorists? What does the information you reveal to Orwell say about them? What if you find out things about them that not even their loved ones know? What is the real price of maintaining the security that the Nation is yearning for? Key Features Investigate the digital lives of citizens. Search web pages, scour through social media posts, dating site profiles, news articles and blogs to find those responsible for a series of terror attacks. Invade the private lives of suspects. Listen in on chat communications, read personal emails, hack PCs, pull medical files, make connections. Find the information you need to know. Determine the relevance of information. Only the information you provide will be seen by the security forces and acted upon. You decide what gets seen and what does not, influencing how the suspects will be perceived. Secure the freedom of the Nation. Find the terrorists so the citizens of the Nation can sleep safe, knowing Orwell is watching over them. MATURE CONTENT WARNING Please note, Orwell includes mature language at multiple points throughout the game as well as mature themes and is not suitable for younger players.
