Orwell: Keeping an Eye on You vs Surviving Mars
Orwell: Keeping an Eye on You
Orwell: Keeping an Eye on You is set in a dystopian future society where apparently the all-seeing "Big Brother" top-secret governmental security program, named Orwell, has become a reality and his sole and direct handler is you! With all the information, unknowingly supplied to Orwell and hence, to you by the individuals within a fictional city, you'll need to weed out the noise and find the important information that is related to the recent series of terror attacks. These information will then be relayed to security forces who will then carry out the necessary action. So, the information you supply will affect the lives of some or perhaps even all of the people in your city.In some way, Orwell: Keeping an Eye on You is a game that is designed to make you experience what it'd be like to be one of those hapless sims who are just going about their day without knowing how much of their personal information have been harvested by the government, even if it's for the greater good, and how these very info can sometimes help or mislead government officials to take excessive counter-action.
Surviving Mars
Surviving Mars is a colony-building game that's set on the red planet published by Paradox Interactive. In this game, you are in charge of the human colonization of Mars project. Aside from extracting various minerals and resources with your army of hardy drones, you'll need to set up a sustainable system of oxygen and water before bringing in the colonists to help with some of the work that drones simply aren't able to do on their own.Despite the obvious flaws in parts of its game mechanics which force players to micromanage almost everything to the point of being a hassle, Surviving Mars has a pretty nice concept and depth, as well as an even nicer style of graphics. The game could use a bit of work, that's for sure, but if they do the changes right, this might just turn into a formidable Mars colony-building simulation - a game that might just help us envision a future where whatever you've built is actually a reality.
