Alice O’Connor, “George Orwell’s Animal Farm becoming a video game from the makers of Reigns” (2020)

“Today is the 75th anniversary of the first publication of George Orwell’s Animal Farm, perhaps the most distressing book for a kid to pick from their parents’ shelves when looking for a nice story about horses. In celebration, an official video game adaptation was of Animal Farm has been announced [sic]. News of a beloved work of literature becoming a video game should inspired a wariness (thanks, Dante’s Inferno) but this one does sound promising.”    —Rock Paper Shotgun (August 17, 2020)
