    There's also Duskers, In Other Waters, Capsule, Hypnospace Outlaw, and Observation in the genre.
    It's weird. I'm generally trying to step away from mechanical considerations in demarcating genres, but it feels like this, more than a lot of mechanics, ties pretty directly into aesthetics of play.

      @@Lulink013 fair. I'd like to go back and reorganize all these in a bit, try to categorize them some more.

    Thank you so much for covering this
    I come back to Games As Lit after a while, and end up purchasing the subject game the moment I hear the premise. The Orwell series is not one to pass up

    I've not played this game. I've never heard of it until now... But the first thing I would do is try to investigate who gave me my orders. I imagine the game doesn't allow that, but I'd try if it is an option.

    You enjoy the game because of the story, and are glad this software probably isn’t a real thing.
