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?

    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…

    I REALLY like this game. But my God the amount of times it has crashed during multiple-choice sequences makes it near impossible to actually play. Like Im sorry but I can't recommend a game that barely works.
