Not For Broadcast casts you as the operator of the National Nightly News, making editorial choices while the country slips toward totalitarianism. This is a dark comedy built around televised chaos: you decide which shots reach viewers, censor troublesome material, and choose whether coverage follows the party line or exposes scandal. The broadcasts go out live, so editorial judgment is part of the drama rather than a detached framing device.
The work at the desk combines selecting footage with choosing headlines and advertisements, all of which can influence public perception. Those decisions sit within a branching story that follows both the nation and the broadcaster’s family. Its story is presented through extensive full-motion video, alongside musical numbers and a darkly comic tone.
Its appeal centers on juggling live production decisions with consequences that branch across a national and family narrative. The listed endings reinforce that emphasis on choices and replaying a story from different directions, while the single-player format keeps the editorial responsibility with one player.
