What players say
One of my top 5 video games of all time. Timely and immersive, and I haven't been so emotionally invested in a game since RDR2. I wish I'd played it sooner! The acting and writing are both top notch.

Game is entertaining so far, love the newsroom mechanics, the game isn't as serious as I thought it would be and it's more lighthearted wacky satire with zany characters, but it's quite fun. Game runs at a smooth 60fps framerate on Steam Deck but more often than not, there is a lag/freeze on the cameras so one or two videos of the four news cameras tend to be frozen on one frame so I can't watch the video without...
Great concept, flawed execution, tiring by a few hours in. Gameplay: - Gets too busy, it's whackamole, that can be fun for a while but it felt like an eternal tutorial. Each new level brings in a new mechanic so you don't really get to engage with the core concept of the game. - The narrative sections between the main game feels a bit too railroady. Story/Writing: Either the writers are politically illiterate...

About the game
A new political Party has won a landslide in the General Election, and for some reason the editor at the news station you work at has done a runner. Now it’s up to you, the Janitor, to take over the editing booth in this tumultuous time - will you help the government, or stand in their way?
