The Westport Independent Download PC Game

The Westport Independent puts the player before a difficult moral choice: whether to suck up to the government authorities, imposing their dictatorship and pursuing pseudo-liberal policies, or to sympathize with the rebels. The fate of the country and the rebel movement depends on the flexibility of mind, courage and clarity of civic position of the editor-in-chief of the weekly newspaper The Westport Independent. By criticizing the government, the publisher risks its own freedom, and by covering up crimes and keeping silent about incidents related to corruption, it lowers its reputation in the eyes of the public.The gameplay is based on an office routine. The player censors articles that shed light on the activities of the president and his entourage, and monitors the social resonance. Reading the press, people discuss the difficult times in which they had to live, influencing the course of events. Depending on whose truth prevails, the people either become bolder, joining the rebels, or humbly watch the tyranny, swallowing the information embellished by journalists.The player edits the text, deleting some provocative theses from the articles. To stay in the editor-in-chief's chair, it is necessary to maintain neutrality. However, no matter how hard the newspaper peacemaker tries, he cannot please everyone. Actions will have consequences, and the player can only reap the fruits of interference in the affairs of politicians.
