Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We aim to provide an experience where the story and game systems are organically connected. While the core systems required to enjoy the game are complete, we need to verify if the narrative flow is conveyed to players as intended. Through Early Access, we want to gather player feedback to improve the story's completeness and create a more immersive conclusion.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We are planning for approximately 6 to 12 months. However, since we intend to transition to the full release only when we judge that the story's completeness and content volume are sufficient, the specific schedule is subject to change.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version is planned to include the complete story leading up to the ending. Additionally, based on feedback collected during Early Access, new news episodes or sudden events may be added, and game direction and quality-of-life features will be further polished.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The core game loops—'Journalist Management', 'Reporting (TRPG & Minigames)', 'Newspaper Publishing', and 'Censorship & Management'—are all implemented, allowing for uninterrupted gameplay. Specifically, you can experience the following features:

Management System: Hiring and training journalists, attracting advertisements, and balancing operations to avoid censorship.

4 Minigames: Diverse minigames covering the reporting process, such as Interview, Infiltration, and Stenography.

Story: Coverage of feature articles in the early chapters and main story progression.

The currently prepared content for the early era (1920s) can be played fully without functional restrictions.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes, we plan to increase the price at the official release as all era-specific story chapters are unlocked and the content volume increases. Those who participate during Early Access can own the game at a lower price as an early adopter benefit.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We aim to focus on verifying 'how organically the game's systems and story are connected' and 'whether the cycle of newspaper publishing (Reporting-Editing-Publishing) itself provides sufficient fun.'

To this end, we plan to open an official Discord server to operate a real-time communication channel between the development team and users. Opinions gathered here will be immediately reflected to improve the play experience and enhance the game's completeness.”

About This Game

Edit the Truth, Manipulate Public Opinion

You are the Editor-in-Chief of a newspaper in 1920s Gyeongseong (Seoul). The size and layout of your articles are power. Will you awaken the people by featuring independence movements on the front page? Or will you fill the pages with propaganda to ensure your survival?

  • The Aesthetics of Editing: Arrange articles like a puzzle. The placement of headlines determines their impact.

  • The Fear of Censorship: You must dodge the red censorship stamp. Cross the line, and your newspaper faces immediate shutdown.

Bear the Weight of the Pen, Heavier than the Sword

Behind the glamorous streets of "Modern Boys" lie dark shadows. Pro-Japanese officials, secret independence fighters, and struggling reporters—your interactions with them will test your beliefs.

  • Noir Narrative: Experience a deep story where the tragedy and romance of the era coexist.

  • The Cost of Choice: A single word from you can change a reporter's fate and alter the flow of history.

Scoops Are Found in the Field, Not at a Desk

You can't find the truth just by sitting in the office. Dispatch reporters to the scene to secure decisive evidence. Tail suspects, eavesdrop, and steal documents. But be careful—if caught, your reporter might never return.

  • Diverse Minigames: Experience the reporting process through Stealth, Tailing, Wiretapping, Stenography, and Interviews.

  • Tense Action: Avoid the guards' line of sight and crack codes to uncover the truth.

Fate Rests on the Dice, Reporters Rest on You

A newspaper doesn't run itself. Hire and train reporters with unique abilities and personalities. But beware: excessive workload and the pressure of the era can drive them to madness.

  • TRPG Style Gameplay: Success depends on reporter stats and the roll of the Dice.

  • Stress Management: Manage your team's mental health so they don't break down or betray you.

Game Features:

  • Publish Your Own Newspaper: Strategic editing via article layout and resizing.

  • Record of the Era: Major historical events and timelines from 1920 to 1945 based on real history.

  • Management Simulation: Manage ads, salaries, and pay special taxes to the colonial government.

  • Multi-Endings: Various endings determined by your choices and political stance (Pro-Japanese/Anti-Japanese).

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

This game utilizes generative AI tools during the development process to enhance content volume and improve efficiency. The specific usage is as follows:

Art: AI was used to generate some background images and UI icons to set the atmospheric tone of the era, which were then retouched by artists.

Text: AI assisted in drafting content for newspaper articles, public reactions, and minigame text. It was also used for proofreading the story and checking narrative consistency.

All AI-generated assets were reviewed, edited, and refined by the development team to ensure they align with the game's vision.
