Oh, what a wacky satire you’ve drawn up right here, Not For Broadcast. An alternate 80s Britain, stumbling blindly in the direction of political catastrophe, with media retailers tripping over themselves to maintain the general public complacent? Careful, you is perhaps getting a bit too far-fetched, there. Not For Broadcast is out now in early entry, broadcasting stay on Steam’s international sign.
Not For Broadcast places you behind the eyes of a janitor-turned-unwitting producer controlling the dials of a nationwide British broadcaster within the 80s. You’ve bought to maintain your eyes on stay broadcasts, performed out in delightfully hammy full-motion video clips. In a completely unrelatable situation, you’ll be altering the output of a nationwide broadcaster, ensuring the nation solely sees what the highest brass considers acceptable.
Shockingly unrealistic. Completely unimaginable. Who may ever, and so on.
Fellow freelance newsie Lauren Morton, who brought Not For Broadcast to our attention earlier this month, had a bash at PAX West some time again. What she described sounded hectic – a wild escalation of manning the boards, flicking the dials and censoring phrases that’d make your gran blush.
Developer NotGames reckon it’ll be in early entry for about 18 months. While at present’s launch options three situations, the devs hope to have 10 distinct ranges by the point they’re achieved with it. NotGames plan on loads of backwards and forwards with the neighborhood, and anticipate going again for reshoots as they work out what’s and isn’t working with their FMV skits.
Not For Broadcast is out there now on Steam, with a 10% launch low cost, for £10.25/€11.24/$13.49.
