News. Public opinion. Manipulation. When truth is twisted and facts are buried, the pen itself wields power—and you remain the unseen hand pulling the strings from the shadows.

About This Game

They say the pen is mightier than the sword, but in the world of Redacted, you wield not just the pen, but truth itself.

Welcome to an era where information is abundant, yet truth is a carefully curated commodity. You, positioned at a news agency poised to dictate public opinion, wield power mightier than any weapon: the ultimate authority over the news, deciding what the public sees and what they believe. Your office is the epicenter of public discourse, and the text editor in your hands is the ultimate weapon for manipulating public perception and thought.

In Redacted, you will immerse yourself in a tense experience fraught with moral dilemmas and political intrigue. Every incoming news report, whether concerning global conflicts, economic crises, or social scandals, will become your canvas. You are more than just an editor; you are a shaper of reality:

  • Edit & Replace: Artfully rewrite text and adjust phrasing to make harsh truths palatable, or amplify trivial events into roaring scandals.

  • Direct Deletion: Ruthlessly delete "inconvenient" text, sensitive images, or even obliterate entire facts. Make certain events disappear as if they never happened, and certain individuals as if they never existed.

  • Manipulate Public Opinion: Every modification you make will ripple outwards like a butterfly effect, influencing public sentiment, government decisions, and even global affairs. Will you quell public outrage, incite patriotism, or sow chaos to achieve some ulterior motive? The choice is yours.

  • Face the Consequences: Your choices are not without a price. Every 'edit' can unleash unforeseen chain reactions, potentially putting your own safety in jeopardy. Will you become an unsung hero, or a historical villain?

Redacted is more than just a game; it's a deep exploration of power, control, and the very nature of truth in the information age. It challenges your perceptions of news, media, and reality. Can you resist temptation and uphold your inner conviction? Or will you succumb to the intoxicating thrill of power, becoming a ruthless 'Truth Editor'?

Game Features:

  • Unique Text Editing Gameplay: An unprecedented core mechanic that puts you directly in charge of 'editing truth'.

  • Gripping Narrative: Immerse yourself in a multi-branching storyline where every edit you make leads to different outcomes.

  • Profound Moral Choices: Test your values as you make difficult decisions between personal conscience and a 'greater purpose'.

  • High Replayability: Different choices and editing strategies will unlock various storylines and multiple endings.

  • Minimalist yet Oppressive Art Style: Creates a tense, rigid, and conspiratorial newsroom atmosphere.

Ready to have your perceptions challenged? Redacted awaits you to take control of the world's truth.
