We’re live in 3… 2… 1…

Oh, what a wacky satire you’ve drawn up here,Not For Broadcast. An alternate 80s Britain, stumbling blindly towards political disaster, with media outlets tripping over themselves to keep the public complacent? Careful, you might be getting a little too far-fetched, there.Not For Broadcastis out now in early access, broadcasting live on Steam’s global signal.

Not For Broadcast puts you behind the eyes of a janitor-turned-unwitting producer controlling the dials of a national British broadcaster in the 80s. You’ve got to keep your eyes on live broadcasts, played out in delightfully hammy full-motion video clips. In a totally unrelatable scenario, you’ll be altering the output of a national broadcaster, making sure the country only sees what the top brass considers appropriate.

Shockingly unrealistic. Completely unimaginable. Who could ever, etc.

Fellow freelance newsie Lauren Morton, whobrought Not For Broadcast to our attentionearlier this month, had a bash at PAX West a while back. What she described sounded hectic - a wild escalation of manning the boards, flicking the dials and censoring words that’d make your gran blush.

Not For Broadcast is available now onSteam, with a 10% launch discount, for £10.25/€11.24/$13.49.
