George Orwell's Animal Farm is now a video game

Orwell's Animal Farm

Orwell’s Animal Farm is a text-based choice-driven narrative game where all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others. Immerse yourself in George Orwell's story of absolute power and corruption and follow the ups and downs of Animalism.

Back when I was studying George Orwell’s Animal Farm in school, I would not have believed anyone who told me it would get a video game adaptation – and yet, one came out today. Orwell’s Animal Farm is a point and click game made by the creators of Reigns, along with Failbetter’s Emily Short. It’s based on the 1945 book, which tells a story about farm animals who revolt and overthrow their human farmers. So, uh, maybe not the cheeriest game for the holidays, but I’m pretty interested in seeing how well it works as a game.
