Let’s Play Orwell: Episode 1 – It All Begins Here

We finally did it. After years of talking about it, my Entertainment Dome co-host James and I have contributed to the over-saturated world of Let’s Plays; starting with puzzle game Orwell.

Set in a 1984-style world, we must use the Orwell system to hack into emails, listen in on phone calls and just generally spy on people to prevent acts of terrorism. Political stances are taken and tangents are made as we start our first day on the job.

Not because I don’t like the idea or consider it a ‘lesser’ form of making a product; they just don’t grab my interest. However, recently that’s beginning to change. It started with Yooka-Laylee (which you can read my thoughts about here), and it’s pretty much kicked into overdrive with today’s subject, Indivisible. Continue reading
