Get two people together with polar opposite extremist views and have them write 7th grade level articles for a journalism class, slap that into a point and click game with a little side scrolling and that is what you have. Lets reshape all of society in one week with some news stories and bland characters and you have the full length and width of this game. Other games have already taken this concept and done a better job. This seems like a cheap cash grab with one inch of political insight. The game ends with a weird "ah ha now you see my genius argument that I found on youtube." I started and I uninstalled upon game completion a whole 42 minutes later. Refund requested.3 found this helpful

Really fun game where you control the news. Will you choose chaos and cause an assassination? Or will you choose peace? This is one of only two games I've got all the achievements for. The other being it's sequel.
Too short to be interesting.
if its on sale or if you buy the bundle its worth it i only played this long to get all the achievements
I gave this game a shot, its ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ terrible. I tried two consecutive runs with completely different political alignments and they were practically identical... It feels really underbaked, I especially hate the visuals with the gameplay not making it worth buying even for cheap.
