About the game
Not For Broadcast is an adventure simulation from NotGames and tinyBuild, released in 2022, in which the player runs a country's evening news as that country slides toward totalitarianism. During the live broadcast, the player picks camera angles, censors troublesome content and frames stories to shape public perception, such as presenting a sportsman as a national treasure or an alcoholic disgrace. Alongside this, a family story unfolds, from a spouse's sibling fleeing the country to Grandma's treatment and a son spending more time with the group Disrupt. The narrative branches with dark humour and leads to 14 distinct endings, with every choice resonating later. The game includes over 42 hours of full motion video, musical numbers and more than 50 ads that can be selected to mould opinion. It is single-player only.
Description from Steam

Feature List:
- Deep and meaningful gameplay decisions
- 14 distinct endings
- Darkly-comic branching narrative
- Over 42 hours of full motion video (FMV) - a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ achievement
- Bursting with musical numbers
Take control of the National Nightly News. With the nation's eyes fixed on your choices, it’s up to you to decide what gets broadcast. Choose the shots, censor any “troublesome” content, and steer the narrative as your country tumbles into totalitarianism. No pressure, right?
Hand-pick the Headlines
Not For Broadcastdrops you into the heart of a darkly-comedic tale of televised chaos, where your every decision helps shape the fate of a nation. From ego-fueled celebrities to deceptive politicians and enigmatic advertisers - you control the public’s perception. As long as you can hold the audience’s fickle attention, it’ll be your choice whether to toe the party line or hype up the scandal.
Will you make that sportsman seem like a national treasure, or an alcoholic disgrace? What about those scientists trapped in Dante’s Taint? Or that new boss at multinational giant Rymmington-Svist who seems to live a double life? Most importantly, will you help the brand-new government look benevolent, or is there something untoward about them that the public need to see?
The power is in your hands to change everything, but you’ll have to decide quickly - the news goes out live!
Craft the Narrative (and the Nation's Fate)
You are in the driving seat of a multi-level tale about both an entire country and a single family. Being the architect of the nation’s future is a challenge, to be sure, but so is trying to hold your household together through the dark times.
With multiple branching narratives, every choice you make resonates into the future. Will you help your spouse’s sibling flee the country... even if it involves breaking the law? Who are ‘Disrupt’ - concerned citizens or something more revolutionary? And how do you feel about your son spending more and more time with them?
And then there’s Grandma... Can you afford her life-saving treatment, or should you and your spouse be taking advantage of one of the Government’s brand-new Transition Centres? After all, granny, there’s nothing more noble than unburdening your children!
And then there’s your broadcast room - when it’s not overheating, it seems to be trying to electrocute you. Keep the plates spinning as best you can, but remember, whether it’s a newsreader who just won’t take it any more, naked streakers at the Sportsboard Final, or the ever growing threat of nuclear war... this show MUST go on.Cue the Ads
Select your ads carefully to mould the public’s opinion. Why not choose to show only adverts for the companies you have shares in? Maybe that extra cash will help with the difficult decisions at home. Or maybe you’ll be selling dangerous toys to the nation’s children…
With more than 50 hilarious ads to choose from there’s never a dull moment - even during the breaks.
Endure the Unthinkable and Laugh in the Face of Adversity
There will be smiles, there will be tears, even as the world falls apart around your ears. So grit your teeth, close your eyes and keep those cameras rolling - the people are counting on you. Long live the National Nightly News.

What is a Steam gift and how is it different from a key?
A gift is a present our bot sends straight to your Steam account via your profile link: no code to enter, the game appears in your library once you accept the gift. A key is an activation code you enter yourself in the Steam client.
Which gift region should I choose?
The one your Steam account is registered in: Steam will not accept a gift from another region. The region is shown in your Steam account settings under "Store country". "CIS countries" means Belarus, Armenia, Georgia and other CIS countries.
How will I receive the gift?
After payment you enter a link to your Steam profile and the bot sends the gift straight to the account — you only need to accept it in Steam. It usually takes 2–5 minutes, around the clock.
What if the account already has this game?
Steam will not let you accept a gift of a game already in your library — check the library before buying. If it happens, write in the order chat: we will refund you.
