Orwell is a great game that really draws you in. I found myself invested in the characters I was investigating and I also wanted to help the other citizens of The Nation. When some of my actions led to a negative reprocussion for one of the citizens I was investigating (I'm keeping this vague to avoid spoilers) I was actually upset and needed to take a break from the game for a few days. Yes from an intelectual standpoint it's silly to get attached to pretend people in a video game but thats where Orwell really shines. These people are not nameless badguy #1 and #2 and Orwell makes you care about them.
