Really, really good. I hoped, perhaps naïvely, that there would be a secret ending, some sage words in 'angering' the partners or even just quitting, but that's not the real world, is it? You serve the masters in waging information war against your own, or you quit/are fired and starve.
Great stuff! I've desperately wanted to see more games like this that expose "the game" and show how big systems like the media are used to influence people in subtle ways. Well done!
In these post-truth times, I happily choose to post.
Thank you for yet another fantastic game! This "soft censorship" of the press is something that isn't talked about enough, and using a similar system to Lucas Pope's game draws a meta comparison between how similar "propagandistic authoritarian censorship" and "free Western democratic media" really are. Just different interests you protect.
Once again, really enjoyable game, and a message that is very important to spread.
unironically helping to broaden the horizons of what video games can be. fun way to have to try and process the information, learn about passive voice, and what difference a slight rewording can make in public perception. incredible.

Molleindustria isn't what it used to be.
Thi is great.
I need this translated!
Molleindustria is the GOAT
The political part of me beat the wanting to win part.
I played this and now when I goto the New York Times, it's like I can see the indicators next to the screen.
Love it! A great adaption from a great work..
Amazing game.

I was terrifyingly good at this game. Depressing in the best possible way.
I feel like the real challenge is in forcing yourself to actually make those edits
thanks molleindustria!
Love this game, teachs a similar lesson to the republica times
Holy moly... Molleindustria is still around and making bangers? I haven't heard that name in 15 years!
Great game as always!
Had fun dropping all the "partners" to red lol
A superb social commentary of a game. You can see how much work went into this! Well done :)
Very nice. Love the level of polish that went into this.
Shame on me for not believing that "The Twilight of the American Sommelier" was a real article.
Great game, depressing but true

Would love to see one about cable news :)

I pushed a small update with some recent news and a slower default and minimum speed. You may have to go through the tutorial again though.
Thanks for the update! Been wanting to play this but couldn't handle the speed during my first few attempts
awesome game. so glad hasan played it on stream. great work.
