A quiet favourite

It's 5 minutes into the future, in a fictional nation where you have just joined a secret government organization whose job it is to gather information, sometimes publicly available, sometimes deeply private and personal, and use it to prevent and solve crime. Your job is to rifle through this information and pass snippets of it that you deem important to the case over to your superiors, who will constantly give you feedback and requests for more. It doesn't take long before you realize that this is a horrible system where your personal opinions and feelings can decide what picture is painted of the people you investigate, and that "Nothing to hide, nothing to fear" is as empty and absurd as saying that only troublemakers need freedom of speech or personal lives. And your superiors are constantly suspicious of everyone. Facebook posts deleted after the medicated user had an outburst...nothing to hide, nothing to fear. Take statements out of context and ruin peoples lives with them...nothing to hide, nothing to fear. Cherrypick contradicting statements and go with the interpretation you feel like. Did the attack happen in defense, or out of anger? Nothing to hide, nothing to fear. Cause tension in a relationship by reporting the theft of a credit card that one had willingly lent to the other. Nothing to hide, nothing to fear. Thanks for reading my review, NSA.

>Just wanting to deliver justice and deal retribution

>Just wanting to deliver justice and deal retribution >mfw I realize I just became the bad guy of 1984 Holy damn, just played this game for the hell of it but boy I can tell you that you can't deny that this concept of a society/government is not that far away from our reality. Sure, it's the old game of weighing safety over freedom but you really get tangled up in the lifes of people. You start to hate them or even like them, feel sorry for them. And you come to a point where you can't control what's happening even when you have this much control. It's bizarre and devastating at the same. 9/10 Otter-High-Fives would recommend!
