Developer NotGames and publisher tinyBuild Games will be releasing the full version of Not For Broadcast later this month. The game has been out in Early Access for a while, and was one of our favorites from PAX 2019, as you play the role of a control room operator for a TV station. You'll be doing your best to keep everything operating correctly while also deciding if you're going to keep the masses brainwashed with perfection or slip some stuff in to keep the audience's attention while also stirring up a little intrigue. The game will come out on Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store on January 25th, 2022.

Not For Broadcast Is Getting New Content This Month

Not For Broadcast is a darkly comedic game of televised chaos that lets you pick what you want to see on TV, no matter what anybody else wants. Egotistical celebrities, dishonest politicians, and strange sponsors clash on the airwaves. You're here to ensure that the show goes on uninterrupted. Cut between multiple camera feeds, tweak the headlines, bleep the foul language, all with just moments to spare on a live broadcast! Whether you toe the party line or stir up a scandal is your choice, so long as you can hold the audience's fickle attention.

  • Frame the picture (and the debate) – Keep the general public entertained with your editing skills. You are the artist and the broadcast is your canvas.
  • Keep it PG – Smash that big red CENSOR button to keep rude words (and other sensitive information) off the air. Keep the news safe for children and oppressive political regimes alike.
  • Hand-pick the headlines – There's more news to see than a single broadcast can possibly contain, so someone (that's you) gets to choose what goes on air. Frame a footballer as a loving beau or a drunken lout? Your call to make, and just one of many. It's just TV, right? It's not like you could change an entire nation's fate…
  • Cue the ads – Powerful as you are, they're really not paying you enough here. Some hand-picked (if slightly sketchy) sponsors might help pad that bank balance, and provide some laughs along the way. Customer satisfaction is not guaranteed and absolutely no refunds.
  • The show must go on! – Nothing will stop the National Nightly News, not even existential threats! Keep broadcasting no matter how bizarre things get. News stops for no-one, not even a category 5 storm!
  • Keep them laughing as you go – Okay, so the news isn't all sunshine and celebrity embarrassments. There's all that talk of war, and the politics are just getting to you. But don't worry, be happy! Tune out the chaos, turn up the ads, and whatever you do, don't listen in on the increasingly panicked chatter of the news crew behind the scenes. Everything's fine.
