About This Demo

Publish the Newspaper for 26 Days

1920s Gyeongseong, present-day Seoul.
You are the editor-in-chief of a newspaper in Korea under Japanese colonial rule.

In this demo, you can play through 26 days of story, from the abolition of corporal punishment to the eve of the June 10th Independence Movement. Each day, articles, testimonies, and reports arrive on your desk. Decide which truths remain in print.

Publishing the truth may put someone in danger.
Staying silent may let someone be forgotten.

Your Choices Become the Newspaper

In The Newspapers of the day Demo, you publish each issue through article selection, censorship, investigation, and conversation.

Which story will you print?
Which words will you remove?
Whose name will you preserve, and whose danger will you conceal?

Your choices affect public trust, censorship risk, your reporters, and the people who speak to your paper.

Investigate, Decide, and Face the Consequences

Your reporters take to the streets, listen to witnesses, and uncover fragments of hidden truth.
A single question can change the direction of an investigation. A risky approach may reveal more, but it may also place people in danger.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

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

This game used generative AI as an assistive tool during development to expand the scope of content production and improve workflow efficiency. The specific areas of use are as follows:

Art: AI was used to create most of the background images that establish the game’s historical atmosphere, to enhance the quality of the main character concept art, to create extra character images, and to produce UI icons. All AI-generated visual assets were retouched and edited by artists to match the game’s direction and visual tone.

Text and Localization: AI was used to draft large volumes of newspaper articles, public reactions, and text used in minigames. AI was also used to assist with proofreading, context checking, and drafting or reviewing some localized text.

All AI-generated or AI-assisted results were reviewed, edited, and adjusted directly by the development team before being used in the game.
