About

Not For Broadcast is an immersive, narrative-driven propaganda sim set in the control room of a TV Studio in a 1980’s dystopia. Control what the people see and what they don't as the government tightens its grip. Will you censor the news and be rewarded, or fight for the truth and live with the consequences?
Storyline

It’s election night! A new political party has won by a landslide, but the editor of National Nightly News has vanished, so it’s up to you, the janitor, to take over the control room. Will you support the new government as they plunge into dystopia? Or will you do whatever it takes to stop them?

A new political party has won by a landslide, but the editor of National Nightly News has vanished, so it\u2019s up to you, the janitor, to take over the control room. Will you support the new government as they plunge into dystopia? Or will you do whatever it takes to stop them?",

Control what the people see and what they don't as the government tightens its grip. Will you censor the news and be rewarded, or fight for the truth and live with the consequences?",
