Das sagen die Beteiligten:
Imre Jele – Project Founder added :
„We’ve watched 2020 unfold with despair and with a growing dread that our game is becoming more and more relevant every day. Even after a decade of populism, oppression and totalitarianism on the rise, it felt more vital than ever to bring Orwell’s study of inequity, control, and corrosive power to gamers.“
Emily Short – writer added:
“Videogames excel at answering ‘what if?’ questions. Our goal was to capture Orwell’s observations in a form that players can explore. We want players to experience the different animals’ viewpoints through the choices they make. Like this, our version of Animal Farm will bring the timeless fable to a new generation.”
George Orwell said in 1945:
“Can you not understand that liberty is worth more than just ribbons?”

Fixierter Release
George Orwells Animal Farm wird am 10. Dezember 2020 auf dem PC via Steam und für Mobile Endgeräte starten. Das Spiel basiert auf dem gleichnamigen Roman aus dem Jahre 1945 und behandelt das Thema Korruption bei „uneingeschränkter“ Macht.
Das sagt der Entwickler:
Imre Jele, Project Founder: “I have long wanted to explore how, through video gaming, we could design an experience which immerses the player in Orwell’s vision. As the project has come to fruition in 2020 it has felt increasingly vital to bring Orwell’s study of inequity, power and control to a new audience. As I watch world events unfold – Brexit, Trump, Putin, Orban, Erdogan – and see numerous leaders use tactics from the populist, nationalist playbook: it sometimes feels like Animal Farm is not fiction, but reality.“
Emily Short, Writer: “Animal Farm tends to be remembered for how its powerful characters destroy the truth through gaslighting, hypocrisy, corruption and greed – all distressingly recognisable to people living through the political events of 2020. But the book also says a lot about why altruistic characters support horrible outcomes, and how values like hard work, cooperation, and loyalty can be warped in obedience to unsound goals. Video games are powerful at telling stories about systems and enabling ‘what if?’ questions. My goal was to capture Orwell’s very relevant observations in a form that players can explore.”
