Look, mate - it’s not that hard. Choose the angles, roll the ads, and bleep the swears. Just keep in mind that how you show these people will change their lives. Don’t worry - you’ll get paid either way!
In an alternate 1980s where the nation stumbles towards dystopia, join the National Nightly News team as they document the latest political scandal, the rise of a radical government, and which celebrity has for some reason written a book about it all.
You only came in to clean the studio - but in a bizarre twist of fate, it's now up to you to determine exactly what goes on air.
Not For Broadcast is an immersive, narrative-driven propaganda sim that lets you set the agenda.

- Frame the picture - Keep the general public entertained with your editing skills. You are the artist and the broadcast is your canvas.
- Keep it PG - Censor swear words… or “unapproved” information. Keep the news safe for children and oppressive political regimes alike.
- Hand-pick the headlines - Their public image is in your hands: run the story of a footballer's new beau, or his last dodgy night at the pub? His marriage and his life are in your hands.
- Cue the ads - Watch your bank balance soar or dive based on what advertisements you run. Customer satisfaction not guaranteed.
- The show must go on! - Keep broadcasting no matter the cost. News stops for no-one, not even a category 5 storm!
- Keep them laughing as you go - The stress of playing a part in this twisted political turmoil getting you down? Sit back and relax - The National Nightly News team will take you from laughter to dread in the course of a commercial break.

This is S T R E S S F U L as hell! Not for those already stressed out
Игра 'Not For Broadcast: Prologue' – это чертовски увлекательная и сатирическая зарисовка на тему того, как легко можно манипулировать общественным мнением, сидя за пультом телевещания. Игровой процесс, хоть и сводится к переключению камер, цензурированию ругательств и предотвращению помех, ощущается напряженным и динамичным. Постоянно нужно принимать решения, которые влияют на восприятие новостей зрителями и, косвенно, на политическую ситуацию в альтернативной Британии. Отлично проработан визуальный стиль – этакая "ламповая" картинка VHS с присущими помехами и артефактами, идеально передающая атмосферу старого телецентра. Юмор, местами черный и циничный, заставляет не просто механически выполнять свою работу, а задумываться о последствиях каждого решения. Пролог умело задает тон основной игре, демонстрируя ее основные механики и предлагая игроку ощутить себя в роли цензора, вынужденного лавировать между пропагандой и объективностью. Однозначно стоит потраченного времени, и разжигает аппетит к полной версии.
really good i love it, well play the full game later on
