Our take on Orwell's Animal Farm
The bounce point comes when literary familiarity gives way to administration. Players who want to follow the novella without making policy decisions may stop at the systems for assigning tasks, managing resources, choosing laws, and directing propaganda.
What is Orwell's Animal Farm?
This text-based, choice-driven narrative game adapts George Orwell’s Animal Farm to an interactive setting.
After the animals overthrow their human masters, players assign tasks, manage resources, choose laws, and direct propaganda. Decisions determine which animals make sacrifices and which become more equal than others. The story follows the rise and changing fortunes of Animalism, with some situations closely reflecting the novella and others shaped by events from the period after Orwell’s lifetime.
