With an incredible possibilities of randomised events and articles to report on, players will experience numerous outcomes and unique endings that encourage them to play the game time and time again.
“Headliner: NoviNews grabbed me from the moment I first saw the game,” said Shintaro Kanaoya, Founder of Chorus Worldwide. “We live in a time where we’re forced to question everything we read in the news. A game about the impact of news on the world felt timely and important. With Papers, Please and Not Tonight showing that there are compelling ways to address politics in games, Headliner: NoviNews joins them to deal with the most dangerous threat of all - fake news.”
“I’ve always been interested in how media shapes people’s perceptions, which in turn shapes reality. What stories we deem newsworthy, and how we report on those stories, fundamentally changes our entire society. Headliner: NoviNews explores the trials and tribulations of trying to remain unbiased in an inherently biased world”, said Unbound Creations founder and director Jakub Kasztalski.
