### **Award-winning adventure where you play as News editor**:  
Decide which articles to publish and watch as the city changes day by day. Shape the lives of four main characters through media. Before you start you can see the previous player’s ending, and share your own story at the end.

_A stack of news article sits on your desk, two stampers on each side – green to approve, red to reject. Your reporting team is hacking away in the background as corporate music plays through the loudspeaker. It’s time to make decisions. Will you endorse nationalized healthcare, even though your love interest is worried about increased wait times? Will you demonize the new synthetic alcoholic drink, even though your boss stressed they are an important investor? Will you support current government, as tensions grow between the neighboring country?_

- A city that changes and responds to your media influence
- Cast of believable characters with their own struggles
- Numerous outcomes and unique endings
- Randomized events and articles enhance replay value

## About Unbound

Unbound Creations is an award-winning, independent game studio focusing on crafting believable worlds, immersive gameplay, and strong narrative experience. It is founded and led by Jakub “Koobazaur” Kasztalski. We launched our first title, the political-narrative adventure [Postmortem: one must die](http://postmortemgame.com/), in 2013. Its follow-up was 2016’s choose-your-own-adventure meets crime-mystery, [Karaski… What Goes Up](http://karaski.com/). In 2017 we launched [HEADLINER](http://store.steampowered.com/app/680980/HEADLINER), a game about controlling the news and seeing the effects on your career, society and family. It received rave reviews from critics like GeekWire, and now has been surpassed by a more ambitious spiritual successor [Headliner: NoviNews](https://store.steampowered.com/app/918820/Headliner_NoviNews/), released October 2018.
