In News Faker, you find yourself in a fictional TV station that’s barely holding together. The equipment dates back to the days of analog television, the studio looks like a basement after a bargain-bin renovation, and the only thing growing faster than the bills is the debt.
Your goal is to drag this ruin to the top of the ratings - even if it means... slightly “enhancing” reality along the way.
Gather footage, cherry-pick convenient facts, bend the rest, and watch your news station slowly transform into a full-blown propaganda factory.
Decide what goes on air: a proper report or a sensational piece of nonsense that breaks the charts.
Stitch reports from half-truths, out-of-context quotes and very convenient camera angles.
Keep an eye on viewers, politicians and watchdogs breathing down your neck.
Every story is a choice: your station’s reputation or pure, juicy popularity?
Rework the image of politicians and celebrities so viewers either worship them or hate them on sight.
Push facial expressions, colors, lighting and captions until a normal interview turns into the meme of the week.
Build a wall of shame and fame – see who’s today’s hero and who’s the demon of your prime time.
Upgrade your studio: from a moldy green screen in a basement to a shiny, loud infotainment circus.
Recruit your crew: decide whether viewers value their skills... or their other assets.
Unlock new show formats, studio toys, tickers and flashy graphics.
Will you build a channel that shapes public opinion, or end up as a case study for “how media went too far”? The choice is yours.
