A game about Censorship, Corruption and Newspapers
The Westport Independent is a censorship simulator taking place in a post-war country, governed by the recently elected Loyalist Party. As the editor of one of the last independent newspapers in the country, your job is to remove and edit the content of your paper, affecting the people’s opinion of both the rebels and the Loyalist government. With an increase of rebel activity and an ever watching government breathing down your neck, whose truth will you print?
Features - Change the content and meaning of your articles by censoring them to your liking. While you can’t lie, you don’t have to tell the whole truth either. - Employees with fleshed out character, who will not only react to your actions, but also discuss them with other colleagues. - Receive letters and messages from public figures, rebel leaders, employees and other characters affected by your actions. - Adaptive stories where your actions affect the opinions of the people, which affects what happens in the city, which in turn affects the stories you receive.

Drops all the time When I open it. Not yet gotten a chance to even look at anything. I was looking forward to this game, but you have to update or I will ask for refund…sad
iPhone 6S with iOS 10.2.1
Really good idea. The graphics and other stuffs really makes you feel that you are actually in that situation. With a lot of details. However, you won’t know the effects of your newspapers except the bars of popularity and letters until the end of the game is probably a little bit hard to wait. (Though it might meant to be excitement) Things to do everyday is also maybe a little bit too simple. But overall I think it is a pretty good game.
