Are you made for this job? Try out the Good News demo and find out!

What to expect from the demo?

~40 minutes of fresh gameplay

Get to understand the thrill of being a chief editor and what a normal playthrough of the base game involves.

Enjoy the following aspects in the demo:

Set the tone of the news

Stories can be told in many ways. As a chief editor, you get to decide which. Will you try to please your audience? Will you be sensationalistic? Or you'll try to steer the narrative in a direction that suits a possible ally?

Correct the drafts from your writers

A variety of drafts will come in each day for different sections of the newspaper. It's your job to make sure they are fit to publish. Any mistakes will make your newspaper look unserious and affect readership

Pressure to increase readership

The CEO of 'The Citizen' trusts that your vast experience and skills will help the newspaper grow large enough to compete with the big fish. Show him that you deserve this job

Get to know the main plot

Good News will offer a deep narrative full of conspiracy, corruption, and lobbying. In this demo, get a small grasp of the main characters and their motivations, although you'll be mostly be spared free from suffering the consequences of your actions for now

What to expect later in the base game?

• Much more news types

• Pick graphical assets for the news

• Balance the readers interests with your writers' biases

• Receive impactful news and decide whether to publish them or not

• Get to know secondary characters and their plot lines

• Use the gifts from your allies to make your job easier (make time go slower, reduce writers' errors, etc.)

• Get much deeper into the main narrative and its different endings

Demo Features:

• Addictive gameplay: Compare drafts against reality

• Alive world: Everything is constantly changing as you progress
