About this game Read the full description

Short, thought-provoking adventure where you are a News Editor and decide what stories get published, set in a fictional city where most people are genetically modified. Multiple unique endings let you share your story and see what the Headliner before you did.

Genetic engineering and civil unrest loom over Galixia.
You are the Chief Curator of a local News Channel.
You are the HEADLINER

Multiple permutations of unique endings you can share with the community
Average playthrough is around 45 mins with room for replay and experimentation
Curate articles and create your OWN unique bias!
Stroll down the streets and watch how society changes
Chat with your family about their struggles, love or hate
Colorblind-friendly design considerations (and if there's more I can do, shoot me a PM)
