A nice little game to play. It's a bit short but when the game costs 0$ can't really complain about the length.

A solid game with an interesting premise, where you play as an editor deciding what stories to censor or publish in a post-war dystopia. The moral dilemmas and narrative tension are intriguing, but the gameplay feels a bit repetitive after a while. It’s a decent experience, but you can’t help but feel like it could’ve been better with a bit more depth or variety.
