TL;DR: Definitely not worth the full price, but grab it on sale if you have an interest in propaganda, censorship and/or publishing.



-----------------------------



An interesting game which put you in charge of a weekly newspaper in the fictional fascist city-state of Westport. Which four articles will be published this week, what will you censor and will the header be biased? Whom of your four unique employees gets to write which article, and how will it affect the government's suspicion of them? Which article gets to be on the front page and to which of the four city districts do you market your newspaper the most? Will your paper be popular enough to sway public opinion one way or the other before the Loyalists feel you've crossed the line and crack down on your humble little newspaper? And you only have 12 weeks before the strict new law is passed and the game ends!



Twelve weeks, twelve papers, and the fate of the city's future.



If you have an interest in propaganda, censorship and publishing you will like this game. Sadly it offers very little replay value. After playing through the game twice in two hours I noticed very little variation in the possible stories I could publish, despite playing radically different both times.

If you can grab it on sale, do so. But it's just FAR too short and simple to recommend for the full $10 pricetag.
