About Not For Broadcast: Prologue

✦ AI summary

You're a live TV director in an alternate 1980s dystopia, mixing camera feeds, censoring swear words, and choosing which headlines go on air—all while deciding whether to serve the oppressive regime or expose the truth. Your editorial choices directly shape public opinion and the fate of the people you're covering, making every broadcast decision a moral gamble with real consequences.

"PROLOGUE" IS A FREE LIMITED VERSION - BUY THE GAME HERE!

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. Mix four camera feeds, choose the headlines, bleep the bad language - all under the pressure of a live broadcast. Will you censor the news and be rewarded, or expose the truth and live with the consequences?

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.

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.
