Not For Broadcast

Step into the chaotic world of Not For Broadcast, a darkly-comic game where your decisions shape a nation's future. As the director of the National Nightly News, you hold the reins of public perception in an alternate 1980s teetering on the edge of totalitarianism.

With over 42 hours of full motion video and 14 distinct endings, each choice you make leads to unique consequences. Will you craft a narrative that supports the new government, or expose their sinister motives? Your responsibilities include selecting the broadcast angles, choosing which content to censor, and airing the advertisements that could sway public opinion—all while managing your crumbling personal life.

The game features an engaging branching narrative that sees you juggling the demands of a tumultuous broadcast environment alongside pressing family dilemmas. Decisions range from helping a family member escape to navigating the bureaucracies of a changing government. With more than 50 humorous ads to choose from, the stakes feel real and the pressure mounts as you strive to keep the audience's attention. Can you endure the chaos and deliver the news, or will the weight of your choices crush both your career and your family?

In Not For Broadcast, the airwaves are yours—make them count.
