How it feels

You are thrust into a live TV control room, juggling censorship and pandering to a dystopian regime with a darkly comedic, pressure-cooker rhythm.

What players say

Players praise the novelty of running a live TV broadcast, switching cameras and managing censorship, but opinions split on the political satire: some find the centrist messaging thought-provoking, others call it shallow and preachy. The gameplay can feel repetitive and overwhelming, and several players mention the story loses momentum in the later chapters.
