Orwell: Keeping an Eye On You changes
Investigators,
We are constantly scouting for new recruits for the Orwell Project. But, as many of you have legtimately voiced, our surveillance effort would never be able not realize its full potential as long as it didn't include more languages.
This changes today! The Government of The Nation has spared no expense to present you official localizations of the Orwell software in
German
French
Spanish
Russian
Chinese
as well as an unofficial localization in Portuguese (Brazil), put together by some of our most loyal citizens on translate.orwell-game.com. Also, we would like to say thank you to all our citizens who have pointed out errors minor imperfections in the Public Localization Beta, which is hereby concluded. Note that more languages will be added through future updates.
Additionally, the update brings tons improvements our engineers have worked on tirelessly in the recent months, such as a much demanded phone call text speed slider, a brand new hack effect intrusion warning, some reworked documents, and much shorter loading times.
Please refer to the full changelog below for a detailled list of improvements and additions.
As always, remain vigilant. The Orwell Project Administration
