Take control of the National Nightly News. You decide what to show, while the whole nation has its eyes on your choices. Select the shots, censor any 'problematic' content and guide the narrative in a country on the brink of totalitarianism. Without pressure.




Select the titles


Not For Broadcast plunges you into the heart of a darkly humorous TV tale, where your every choice helps shape the destiny of a nation. From egocentric celebrities to crooked politicians and enigmatic advertisers, you control public perception. As long as you can hold their capricious attention, it's up to you to follow the lead or, on the contrary, exaggerate the fiasco.

Will you make this sportsman look like a national treasure or a drink addict? What about those scientists trapped in Dante's Perineum? And the new head of the Rymmington-Svist multinational who seems to be leading a double life? More importantly, are you going to help the newly-appointed government burnish its image, or is there something untoward about it that the public should see?

You have the power to change everything, but you'll have to act fast, because live action doesn't wait!




Shape the narrative (and the fate of the nation)


You are at the helm of a multi-layered story centred on both an entire country and a single family. Being the architect of a nation's future is a major challenge, as is keeping a family together in the face of adversity.


The multi-layered narrative makes every choice crucial to the future. Will you help your brother-in-law flee the country... even if it means breaking the law? Who makes up 'Perturbation': concerned citizens or a more revolutionary movement? And how does it feel to see your son spending more and more time with them?

And let's not forget Granny... Will you be able to fund the treatment on which his life depends, or should you take advantage of one of the transition centres recently set up by the government? After all, what could be more noble than taking care of your children?



Then there's the famous control room. When it's not overheating, it literally seems to be trying to electrocute you. Pianote as best you can, but remember: whether it's a presenter at the end of his rope, naked sportsmen during the Biduleball final or the ever-growing threat of nuclear war... the show MUST go on.


Launch the adverts


Choose your adverts carefully to influence public opinion. You could choose to only show ads for companies in which you have a stake... That little extra nest egg could help you make those tough family decisions. Unless you'd rather put dangerous toys in the hands of youngsters...

With over 50 crazy adverts to choose from, say goodbye to the doldrums, even during breaks!




Endure the unthinkable and laugh at adversity


There will be smiles as well as tears, even when the world is crumbling in your ears. So grit your teeth, close your eyes and keep on broadcasting; the people are counting on you. Long live National Nightly News.
