I respect what you trying to go for but without more concrete view of how our actions by reporting the news is affecting the world, the game just isn't as enjoyable

Very interesting game, as others have said it was pretty confusing, however I loved the humor in the writing and had fun picking headlines!

Kinda confusing at the start but good job overall! the music was awesome.

If you dont mind, please consider rating my game as well :)

I could not for the life of me figure out what to do hahaha. I just kept choosing headlines and in the end I got a score and that was it. I think text only games are not really my thing but that doesn't mean it isn't a solid game!

Took me a minute to realize I could zoom out on the map. It started out very zoomed in, so it was mostly water. Just figured it might change from day to day. Then it didn't change so I tried clicking around and figured it out.

I enjoyed reading the headlines y'all came up with. It's a fun bit of lore that this civilization seems to live on a ring world, which I guess explains why the map is vertical.

In the end I felt like I didn't really know how to synthesize the information I had into making any progress, so I just started randomly choosing headlines. I got a number at the end but I didn't have a sense of how good or bad it was. Maybe a quick sentence summarizing each faction's opinion of my newspaper would help with that?

On paper I like this idea, I would love to role play as an editor of a major global (ringal?) news network but with the lack of concrete systems it's hard to develop a mental model of the game's internal logic. The newspaper headlines feel like they could be flavortext in a board game, but it seems like you're relying on them to also communicate how they affect the systems of the game, so it just feels kinda opaque and I don't know how to make good decisions.

I enjoyed exploring the lore of the fictional world through the lens of a newspaper! That's a really cool premise. That would be an awesome concept for a fiction novel and if you wrote one there's a good chance I would read it.

Cool title screen! Information was a bit dense so I didn't get very far, but love your take on the theme
