so i just heard about this game static hour and it sounds super intriguing. basically, you play as a news editor back in the 80s, working the night shift, and you have to decide what news to broadcast to the public. it's a really tough job, especially since there's this massive outbreak of violence going on and everyone's freaking out.
i love the idea of being in a retro newsroom, using old-school tools like a rolodex and police scanner to gather information. it's like, you have to be really careful about what you choose to broadcast, because it can affect how the public reacts and potentially make things worse. it's a lot of responsibility, you know? and the fact that you're all alone in the office at night, with just these creepy emergency alerts and scanner chatter to keep you company, is just adding to the spookiness.
the developer, barkbyte interactive, is going for a psychological thriller vibe, with a focus on isolation and misinformation. the founder, claire sarmiento, wants players to have to trust their own instincts and judgment to figure out what's going on, and what's true or not. it's all about creating this sense of uncertainty and unease, where you're not always sure what's real and what's not. and the best part is, it all takes place in the newsroom, so you'll be sending out field reporters to investigate stories, or choosing to ignore them and let chaos ensue.
i'm really curious to see how this game plays out, and how the story unfolds. unfortunately, there's no release date yet, but it's going to be available on pc via steam, which is pretty cool. preorders are available at major retailers, so if you're as intrigued asRead more: Full article on www.gamespot.com
