Not For Broadcast is set in an alternate 1980s Britain where a radical government rises to rule with an iron fist and snarky rhetoric.
Television is used as a brainwashing tool and that is exactly where you come in, mate. Beep the swears, keep the cameras on the celebs and keep the audience hooked in this darkly comedic game of televised chaos.
Not For Broadcast is now finally out of Early Access on PC, featuring the third and final chapter, several story endings, new achievements, challenges, and rewards.
About
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?
