Not for Broadcast is self-described propaganda sim, in which the player is put in charge of National Nightly News. The game combines the full 3D environment of the TV station's control room, with FMV segments recorded from different cameras, which the player has to switch in between in order to maximise viewership. Occasionally player is also given a choice on how to portray certain news fragment, what to advertise in between news segments and even whatever to break a law in order to help people that may suffer under the highly radical government.
The game was released as Early Access title for Windows on January 30, 2020 and was met with overwhelmingly positive responses from Steam users.[2] The game was then updated with various quality of life improvements based on player feedback, as well as a performance fix for (then already deprecated) Windows 7.[3] Due to the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, however, the recording and development of Episode 2 were delayed, with a separate new episode called "Lockdown" being recorded in home isolation and implemented into the game as a free update on June 25, 2020.[4] Episode 2 was ultimately recorded and released to the public on January 28, 2021, which was then followed by the instruction of dubbing to Russian and Chinese[5] and a few major patches released in consecutive months.[6][7][8] The game exited early access on January 25, 2022.
