It's like Nineteen Eighty-Four, but with added jazz.
Really though, this was a wonderfully-executed Orwellian nightmare wherein you take on the role of an unnamed person who takes on the job of sifting through surveillance tapes on the hunt for suspicious discussions. It's up to you to decide whether the people in the recordings are guilty or not, although it's no real surprise what "they" want from you.
As the game progresses, new crumbs of story emerge until you have to make one big choice, which dictates how the game will end.
The whole experience is very claustrophobic and tense (even with the jazz!), and you really feel like every move you make could be seen as a mistake of some kind... and you just don't know what the punishment might be.
All in all a fantastic little game that deserves more attention!
