Hello agents!
First of all, thanks go out to each of you for your vigilance during the launch of Orwell: Ignorance Is Strength. The influx of new investigators was fantastic to see, and the discussions in the forums were a delight to read. We are happy that most of you are enjoying your employment in The Office, and we look forward to the launch of Episode Two next week!
We would also like to address a concerns that a number of agents have expressed since launch - the episodic nature of Orwell: Ignorance Is Strength.
When we released Orwell: Keeping An Eye On You, we found that the episodic release schedule helped to build and foster a community. Investigators were excited to log in every week, express their theories, and discover the multiple pathways through the episodes. It was like a special event, that only those first through the doors of Orwell Systems could experience.
However, we now realise that a bulk of Orwell fans played the game in one sitting, binging it like a Netflix series. This is a total valid way to enjoy the experience, and it seems that for many of you, it is the preferred way to play. We tried to ensure we clearly messaged that Ignorance is Strength was an episodic title, however we realise that there are several ways we could have more clearly articulated this and have since updated the store page to further reflect that.
As for the rest of the season, we will be releasing episode two on March 8th, and the final episode on March 22nd. At that point, we hope that those who have found the episodic release schedule not to their liking will be able to binge and see the thrilling conclusion. Your feedback has been valuable, and we will definitely go into future releases with this information in mind.
Thanks to everyone for playing, sharing, talking, making videos and leaving reviews. We are so excited to deliver Episode Two, and can't wait to see those fan theories popping up across the internet.
Stay vigilant!
