And consuming those would probably have taken me longer than it did to play this game.There's some potential here, but it falls horribly short. The game lasts only for 12 turns, which is nowhere near long enough to make you give a damn about the four people in your editorial team or the gameworld that you inhabit. The game just feels empty and entirely forgettable.The game is visually appealing, so it does have that going for it. But it still feels like a demo, not an actual game.If you can pick this up at a heavy discount, its a fun little game to try, but at full price its robbery in broad daylight.. Some of my thoughts after about 40 minutes of playing:- The game is buggy, It has crashed a few times, and I have experienced glitches in the game forcing me to relaunch it.- Music is repetitive uninspiring.- This game needs more depth. A good example is a budget option for running your newspaper that rewards you for selling more newspapers.- Choices are extremely limited for editing articles and layout.The first 10 minutes were fun, but quickly got repetitive. This game has so much potential, it just needs the core concepts to be fleshed out more.. Good alternative for Paper's Please. It's an interesting concept, but not much of a game. A single playthrough should not take more than an hour, and I can't see much reason to replay it because it's a bit tedious and empty, with no real sense of control over outcomes, no outside system to affect, no personal life to manage, and no plot. My point isn't that games need to have these things, but it helps to have something of substance, doesn't it? This is a bit like solitaire without the replay value.You alternate between choosing which stories to run, and viewing little cutscenes. This happens about 12 times.In the cutscenes, the employees gossip lightly about their realistically depressing personal lives in a way that has no clear connection to anything you've done. These cutscenes are ignorable and don't really carry a lot of plot or character.Editing has a few wrinkles which don't really do anything. Mostly, it is just choosing stories. Occasionally you might strike out a paragraph to avoid making the government or whoever angry. This has no obvious cost, there is no particular information to consider; it's just an arbitrary choice. If the person you give a story to refuses to write it, then you just choose another. Makes you want to hire an understudy who you can just hand the stories to, and they will shop the stories around until each one has a writer. Then there are the letters you receive, but can't read unless you drag them to exactly the right part of the screen.After each cycle, you get a little feedback about how the papers sold and how they shifted public opinion, for all the difference it seems to make.After the last cycle, you get different ending texts which might reflect your choices. Or maybe not, it's not very clear. I think I'll skip replaying this for achievements which just meant that I sat in the chair a few more hours like this one.. Partial spoilers? Anyway. I've only played a little of this game, if only because it's kind of confusing. It's swimming in the wake of papers please, of course. And I think it does a rather well job with the setting. The characters come off as annoying. I get that guy 1 has such a bleeding heart he can't get enough bandages in the world. I get that the others are just kind of trying to survive. But after every day that just gets kind of shoved in my face. I'm happy it's not a carbon copy of the game with different paint like all of the minecraft copies. And, frankly, the worst part since I've last played is the inability to tell me how I changed stats. In Papers Please when you make a mistake it tells you what you messed up. I tried to start off as a loyalist because I thought that'd be easier and simple and nice to start. But sometimes I'd end up accidentally posting slander to the government? I guess? I can't exactly tell what I'd done wrong, only that I had done something wrong. And with around 4 different stories with changable titles and contents it's hard to tell what is exactly slander. I've been given a rulebook and I'm given a grade but no teacher has come by to actually tell me what I did wrong. Which I'd appreciate and if it was implemented I'd actually fully recommend this game. But it's a time waster, I guess. $10 is a fine price for it though.. The game is similar to Papers Please, Orwell, and Headliner. You play as an editor at some newspaper, and your goal is to publish various articles each week for 12 weeks. You're able to edit headlines and omit any section of an article you see fit. There are 4 different districts that you can appeal to in the game as well as making each district lean towards loyalist or rebel opinions. Now, there's really not much to the game. So, if you're looking for adventure/action I would find a different game. I also wouldn't think that you're going to get the same gameplay experience as you did in Papers Please. However, if you enjoyed Orwell or Headliner, I would definitely get the game on a sale. Note: the game itself is kinda short, if you are only taking into account a single playthrough. The replay value lies in trying to get all the endings for each district.. This is where you worked before moving to Arstotzka to be a border inspector.. I'm a media junkie, so I loved this game. I played through in about 1.5 hours, but then went right back to re-play it. It's got a nice soundtrack, too.
