6 itemsAbout the Game
Remember when hitting a glitchy TV actually fixed it? Breaking News is an award-winning comedy adventure where the TV is the controller. Smack the CRT to shake up the broadcast and twist the story to fit your uncle's crazy conspiracy theories.
Hit the TV from the right, left or top to manipulate the channel differently. You might:
Launch a NASA shuttle or sabotage it and blame it on the communists
Prevent the Leaning Tower of Pisa from collapsing
Decide the fate of a high profile police chase
Inspire a struggling artist to paint a masterpiece
KEY FEATURES:
Channel surf the 90s: packed with unique game-mechanics inspired by the golden age of television.
Choices Matter: Your hits shape how each absurd scenario plays out.
Replayable: Challenge yourself to uncover every gag, conspiracy and secret ending. It's better than binging Friends for the 10th time.
No heavy lifting: CRT gaming without driving 3 hours to buy a 200lb TV from a sketchy guy on Craigslist.
DISCLAIMER: NO TVs WERE HARMED IN THE MAKING OF THIS GAME.
(ok, maybe just one. You might have heard about the alternative-controller version of the game, where we modified an actual CRT TV to react to the player's hits)
Don't just sit there staring at the static, wishlist "Breaking News" now!
