ABOUT THE GAME
Select an article, change the headline, and see the reactions
Play the role of the editor-in-chief of a newspaper, selecting the news that comes to you and filling the page. For some articles, you can switch the headline to a different wording, deciding both what to include and how to convey it. A real-time satirical simulation created by Molleindustria that criticizes corporate media.
GAMEPLAY
Convey the same topic using different subjects
Press the pencil icon to switch the headline before publication to another candidate. In the image, the sentence changes from indicating whose act it is to one in which hunger is the subject. The tutorial explains that this paraphrase is related to evaluation by the faction.

Create a paper based on the news that is flowing
Drag the articles that arrive on the left side to the right page to publish them. As the headlines and images of articles fit into the paper's frame and the next news arrives, we continue to select topics to cover.
Even a single article has a choice of how to convey it.
Articles that can be edited are marked with a pencil icon. When you switch to a different heading, the words used and the position of the subject change. The content is based on actual news headlines, and judgments are made by reading and comparing the English expressions.
Handle the number of readers and three evaluations at the same time
On the right side of the screen, reviews from the police, Israel, and wealthy people are lined up, and below that the number of readers is displayed. The author's commentary does not indicate in advance the specific increase or decrease that an article will have on each rating, but instead considers the impact based on the content of the headline.
