What it is
Orwell's Animal Farm is a text-based, choice-driven adventure game from Nerial, released in 2020. After the animals overthrow their human masters, you direct how they run the farm: assign work, manage resources, set laws and shape propaganda. Your decisions determine who makes sacrifices and who gains greater standing. The game adapts the characters and situations of George Orwell’s novella into a playable story, with events that can follow the book or take different paths shaped by your choices. Its focus is on power, corruption and the struggle for a more equal society. It is a single-player game for Windows and macOS, with Steam Achievements and Family Sharing. Players can guide the farm’s construction and decide how Animalism spreads, while navigating the consequences of leadership. The story’s central question is not simply how to keep the farm running, but how your choices distribute power among its animals.
