Get ready to run the National Nightly News in Not For Broadcast VR!

A nation tunes in, and you get to decide what’s fit for broadcast. Pick the most exciting (or scandalous) camera angles, bleep the swears and determine which ads to run to keep the sponsors happy. No pressure, right? I mean, who pays attention to the news anyway?

The award-winning darkly comedic game of televised chaos that critics have called a “Bizarre masterpiece” and “Quite possibly the best FMV game ever"! Not For Broadcast VR takes the gameplay, story, and gripping dark comedy of the original award-winning FMV adventure and brings you closer to the news than ever.

Frame the picture (and the debate) Keep the general public entertained with your editing skills.

Keep it PG Smash that big red CENSOR button to keep rude words (and other sensitive information) off the air. Keep the news safe for children and oppressive political regimes alike.

Hand-pick the headlines There’s more news to see than a single broadcast can possibly contain, so someone (that’s you) gets to choose what goes on air.

Cue the ads Powerful as you are, they’re really not paying you enough here. Some hand-picked (if slightly sketchy) sponsors might help pad that bank balance, and provide some laughs along the way.

The show must go on! Nothing will stop the National Nightly News, not even existential threats! Keep broadcasting no matter how bizarre things get. News stops for no-one, not even a category 5 storm!

Honest Review - No Discount

Since the day I heard this announced for VR I have been on the edge of my seat with excitement. This game so flawlessly works in VR - like it was meant to be made that way in the first place. My only gripe is, the interference knob can be a bit difficult to control 100% of the time. I’d love to see an update to allow you to use the joystick instead of physically moving your arm to change the wavelength. THE FACT THAT YOU CAN WATCH YOUR OWN ACTUAL NEWS BROADCASTS BLOWS MY MIND!!!! I was worried the 15gbs of space might not be worth deleting some games for but it ABSOLUTELY IS!!! After watching all my favorite YouTubers play this game through, I feel I already know most of the game, but am still SO EXCITED to put my own skills to the test. As a person that doesn’t own a PC, not being able to play this game since it’s original launch has been gutting. But now playing it with my OWN HANDS is going to be crazy!!!! Thank you devs for making this absolute gem of a title accessible to so many more people!!!

I bought the game TWICE!

Never heard of this game before, and watching the trailers I thought this game was a bit weird. Thank god I bought it though. Surprisingly very fast game to learn when there’s so much buttons and controls. And it’s a great hilarious and dark story. I actually bought the PC version too to experience the game better because my eyes usually hurting when I look at something for too long. I only played halfway through the VR version so far, but I can definitely say it’s more immersive than the PC Version.

Developers Please Read

If played on the main account on your headset this seems to load fine. If loaded on a secondary account it crashes at the loading screen after selecting difficulty. This may be the cause of the crashes many people are experiencing. I bought this game from my partner to play on the secondary account and she can't play it. If developers fix this I will change my review to five stars. UPDATE: The developers have fixed the crash on loading problem. This game should run smoothly for everyone now. Well done developers for responding. FIVE STARS!!!

I love this game!

This game is so addictive. I am aiming to complete all 14 endings. I majored in communications in college, so this game reminded me of the good ol' days behind the mixer. This game also shows how society can be swayed based on what the media presents to them. Five stars!

Awesome game. Really… nothing else I can say I haven’t had any bugs… there might be some but luckily I haven’t had them.
