Curator Review

Recommended
By 日系動畫遊戲 January 5, 2019

“扮演媒體工作者，選擇每日的報導。有官方中文。國家正處於「基改人」與「純種人」的對立的激化，也因臨近國家動亂而產生的移民問題。妳是一位主編，負責選定每日報紙的頭條，你的選擇將會影響受眾的想法，對你的國家以及你的身邊帶來影響。一款小品，一輪遊戲時間很短(七日的選擇，一個小時內可以完成)，但裡面附有多種能性可供數次重複遊玩。”

About This Game


Short, thought-provoking adventure where you are a News Editor and decide what stories get published, set in a fictional city where most people are genetically modified. Multiple unique endings let you share your story and see what the Headliner before you did.

Genetic engineering and civil unrest loom over Galixia.
You are the Chief Curator of a local News Channel.
You are the HEADLINER


  • Multiple permutations of unique endings you can share with the community
  • Average playthrough is around 45 mins with room for replay and experimentation
  • Curate articles and create your OWN unique bias!
  • Stroll down the streets and watch how society changes
  • Chat with your family about their struggles, love or hate
  • Colorblind-friendly design considerations (and if there's more I can do, shoot me a PM)
