News Editor Sim Headliner: NoviNews Premieres on Steam October 23rd
Unbound Creation’s upcoming news editor sim Headliner: NoviNews is set to launch on Steam October 23th.
You’re the ‘Headliner’ and you operate as the chief editor of the country’s largest news publication. You decide what stories will run, but you will also need to meet your quotas and keep your audience engaged. Controversy equals clicks, and with the world in conflict, it’s up to you to cultivate the country’s culture through the court of the public opinion.
Obviously, your character will spend a lot of their time working behind a desk. In the evening, you’ll walk home an observe how the stories you published influenced the public. Each playthrough will last roughly three hours, but every decision you make changes your outcome so always use your brains and think, think, think!
“Headliner: NoviNews offers a unique spin on the job sim genre with a timely take on the harsh realities of journalism. Perpetually tasked with predicaments that put your artistic and moral integrity in conflict with the capitalist need for clicks, you’ll have to navigate the messaging behind massive societal conflicts,” said Unbound Creations founder and director Jakub Kasztalski. “It’s a mad, mad world out there, and Headliner: NoviNewsinvestigates the difficulties in bringing people together in a society predicated on juicy controversies that drive us increasingly apart.”
Prize-wise Headliner: NoviNews recently won the ”Best Overall Game” of Intel Buzz Seatle 2018, and was a finalist for Best Action and Adventure Game at the 2018 TIGA Awards. It was also part of the Official Selection at PAX West 2018’s Indie Mega Booth and the same year’s Indies Expo.
