Surprise Attack Games and Osmotic Studios today announced Orwell, a narrative exploration game that forces you to delve into the private lives of citizens in order to thwart terror attacks.
“In the style of games such as Papers, Please, Her Story and Cibele, Orwell raises serious questions about contemporary society in a way that only a game can,” Surprise Attack said of the game. “It’s themes include the balance between security and freedom, what it means when we trade privacy for connection, and the impact of the internet on the way we perceive our world and are perceived by others.”

You’ll play as yourself, recruited by an organisation called The Nation to take part in a security program called Orwell. As you can see above, you’ll be able to sift through personal information, attempting to figure out who is dangerous and who is not.
Orwell heads to Windows PC via Steam in late 2016.
