Great!

Just going to quickly point out that all Humble Store is offering here is a Steam key, which is sort of odd, since DRM free versions of the game do exist from other storefronts.

Quoting: EMO GANGSTERsweet another free game
Yeah, I've gotten so many free games from one source or another over the past couple of years that it's almost silly to spend money on them any more. My Steam library is so large at this point that it's unlikely that I'll ever play every game in it.

What’s the relationship between Orwell and Orwell: Ignorance is Strength? Is it a sequel? Extended edition? Something else?

As always, it's up to the developer of the game to sort stuff like that out.

Always in the mood for free. But (as usual) I already own it.

Ignorance is Strength is a sequel.
Though it does not follow to closely from the original since you have a pretty impactful choice in the first game
Still , story lien wise it happens somewhat in parallel so I guess that does explain it

Well, i think its quite easy to explain - DRM-free means downloads and downloads means bandwidth, which is not free. Paying customer is one thing, albeit they prefer to just sell Steam key for eons already, but free giveaway...
Since they getting permit from developer, i think, as well as keys its pretty much zero cost for them to giveaway these keys.
