## About Orwell: Ignorance is Strength

Orwell: Ignorance is Strength is a 2018 indie adventure and simulation game that blends a text‑search narrative with a political thriller about surveillance. Set in a dystopian secret‑government program, the player manages data‑chunk files, uses an influencer tool, crafts propaganda, filters search results, and faces time‑based stakes while making moral decisions. Players describe the experience as contemplative, stressful, tense and unsettling, while reviewers highlight how the late‑game influencer tool shapes public opinion, the moral ambiguity present in every uploaded fact, and how plausible propaganda feels eerily relevant. The game costs $2.99 USD, runs as a solo‑only title with a normal difficulty and a short, sit‑down session shape, and is rated playable on Steam Deck with a 76% positive reception from 1,068 Steam reviews.
