Disappointed

Play time of less than 30 minutes, crashes at the credits...

Too Short To Be Good

The game was good. The idea was great. The design was nice. The music was magic. Truly a great gaming experience... For the 3 hours it lasted. Way too expensive for how long will it last

Glitched on iphone 4

Game is currently unplayable on iphone 4 as far as I know. The screen is glitched and I cant press start or go in the settings.

Not what I expected

Amazing game and it is very awesome to play. Its not worth the money though. You can finish the game in 45 minutes. Extremely overpriced.

Really Interesting

The game itself is interesting, but I couldnt help but feel it could have and should have been longer.

A bit of fun... Zero replay value

Beat it twice , first time slowly and the second much faster still under 3 hours total. Expensive, for the time. At least its not 11$ like on Steam. Garbage. Worth 3$ tops, lack of design, variety or even major consequential twists.

Too short, good idea but unfinished

This game isnt all bad. The retro graphics reminded me of early Macintosh UI. The music is mellow and atmospheric piano. And the concept is decent: you run a newspaper where you must make choices as to how much you censor stories or not, and how much you toe the government line or not. But it is not fully realized; your censorship choices come down, usually, to choosing between two headlines. And how much the marketing a layout options really matter is not fully explained. Then there is the shortness of it - 30 minutes in my case. That is not what I expect for the price. Bottom line: not bad idea, but needs WAY more work. Do not buy this game as it is now.

Great game

Love the game but it doesnt open sometimes - when that happens, delete all background apps and try again.

Great game but waaay overpriced

Good

Good game for sure but it should be longer and there should be more events that occur based on your choices during the game.

Way overpriced

This is not a bad game, but does not come anywhere near passing the value for money test. It is a very short game with little replay value. Wouldnt recommend this game unless it is on sale for a couple of dollars.

Interesting

This game has an interesting concept, but it is short, and after about 5 minutes you discover that the game is quite dry and without any real risk and reward system. It is overpriced for the 45 minutes it takes to play. I would not recommend.

I just want to say

The best political simulation on iOS is made by the same studio that made goat simulator.

Great Game!

I played the whole thing in 30 minutes it was a thrilling play through lots of corruption and commitment would recommend to friend and I would definitely play again and as I was playing it at the end I saw how much thought and detail was put in I hope there to be more games like this!

No replay value

Consider that youll only be able to play this once, and its too easy to get all the endings.

The "Papers Please" of the App Store

This game has a lot of elements that I LOVE in a good game. It has an interesting plot that changes based off how you play and not just a single dialogue option or decision, moral ambiguity because neither the government or the rebels are truly the good or evil side, a cast of characters that feel like real people, several different endings for different characters and areas, the list goes on. I think this game deserves to be called one of the all time App Store classics up with The Walking Dead and Hearthstone.

Good game, just short

Under an hour of time played and I finished the story... Game was great, just very short.

Fix This

I was able to play once, then it wouldnt let me back in.

Good game, even though a bit short

This game has a really good idea behind it, that youre the censor and you can control what goes in the news or not. However, it is really short and if youre looking to purchase this game for hours of compelling gameplay, then this isnt for you.

Good game, but short and buggy

Its a good concept, and fairly simple to play. My main complaints are: the text is really small on the phone with no way to zoom. The story is short, and multiple playthroughs reveal very little. The game always crashes at the end so I never get to read the entire resolution.
