1984 is a first-person survival adventure set in Orwell's timeless dystopia. As Winston Smith you must carefully plot your secret rebellion against Big Brother, while avoiding the suspicions of the Thought Police. Adaptation by the Narrative Designer of Subnautica, Talos Principle and FTL.

1984 is part walking simulator, part adventure, and part survival game. Each day you go to work, acquire the resources you need to stay alive by whatever means necessary, and conduct your illicit rebellion as surreptitiously as possible. Your actions are largely narrated from Orwell's original prose, but you'll have many opportunities to make personal and dialog choices which redirect the story.
