Good job《☆☆☆☆☆》
Very fun game, couldn't imagine playing this more than three times so I Uninstalled it after having my fun. Completely worth the time and play!
Its an incredible story game, the maker definitely deserves the credit 😌
Nice Game
Fantastic text-based game, this game show that How media can change the prospective of some-one with changing little bit in the news
Very enjoyable, has an interesting story about journalistic integrity and media manipulation. It also has no ads or in-app purchases which is a definite plus nowadays! I love hearing the group's conversations and the variety of different endings you can get. ❤❤❤
The quality of this game made me question if it's a free game. Despite of somewhat short timeline, compared to other games (but I think the timeline is just perfect), it is truly engaging. 5/5 stars!
There is no way to stop evil. Even if i try to make propaganda news they close me.
Great game, I love the realism in it. In many ways it's similar to George Orwell's 1984. I would love if it was longer though
