March 2025

This game is really fun, especially if you love puzzle/time management games with multiple things happening at once. Soothes my ADHD brain.

Jan. 2025

A neat idea with a fun story but some of it was a slog to play through. The game's mechanics detract from being able to fully pay attention to the videos.

Jan. 2025

Best FMV game that I have ever played. The actors do such a great job, and the high-quality story might have been right out of a "black mirror" episode. The gameplay is a little wonky at times (like not showing the interference mini-game controls) but it is all certainly forgiven for the extras of game story replayability and interesting, comical video bits that can be reviewed between missions. I highly recommend this game to those who are looking for this kind of gameplay, even at the full price. I look forward to checking out the DLC extras, too. Worked perfectly with Steam's Proton compatibility software, on an Ubuntu Linux desktop computer. I used the keyboard and mouse controls, and I had no technical issues.

Dec. 2024

Super good game. Engaging story, fun mechanics. The developers clearly cared about the game they were making, and it shines through.

Nov. 2024

Well you're not doing much except for censoring swear words, switching screens, etc (mini games), while simply watching the show and following the story. The rest of the game is like a visual novel. 'Choices Matter' just means which clip you'll get to see and which achievements will unlock for you. I quite liked the actors and there was some funny moments. Pretty entertaining overall but not much of a game. The developer is 'NotGames' so that makes sense. It's worth maybe £5 tops I'd say. Base game is alright but the DLCs are a whole other thing (lesser quality). So if you want to watch some videos and click some buttons while doing so then Not For Broadcast might be for you.
