Overview

Description

Ministry of Broadcast is a narrative-driven single player cinematic platformer mixing Orwell’s 1984 with modern reality TV. The game is rife with dark humor, sarcastic quips, and the absurdity of the system. Seemingly built overnight, The Wall has divided both a country in two and a man from his family. To see them again, our ginger-haired protagonist has decided to become a contestant on “The Wall Show”, a Regime-organized TV show allowing competitors the opportunity to escape to freedom on the other side. However, as he progresses through the camp, our contestant soon realizes exactly how the Regime and the show operate. The promise of freedom is not exactly what it seems

Features

Run, jump, climb, and smash your way through each Arena while events unfold around you

Much of the story is revealed through seamlessly integrated animation sequences, environment details, or NPCs dropping bits of dialogue as you sneak, dive, and dodge around them

Instead of a screen cluttered with distracting indicators, mini maps, and HP bars overlaying the action, all the information the player will need is incorporated directly into the environment

The game's art contains important hints and clues, so players will need a keen eye if they want to get through each Arena unscathed

You'll need to use your wits, and sometimes a dash of ruthlessness, to advance through each deadly Arena

Much of the puzzle-solving requires you to interact directly with the environment; use your momentum to shift platforms, find and flip the right levers, and possibly sacrifice an NPC or two on your journey

The game features a heavy dose of impish humor, grade-A sarcasm, and comic mischief, balanced against the dark, heavy themes of a thoroughly dystopian world

Bought this on-sale. Steelbook is a nice bonus. The game wasn't too difficult. It was short and played through pretty quickly.

A rather dark humored, pixelated puzzle platformer. Make your way through levels filled with obstacles, traps, red herring solutions while sometimes sacrificing your fellow man to get ahead (don't worry, they come back. Mostly.) The game was about 8 hours in length and it was really fun; but there's not a whole lot more to say beyond that. Some of the humor reminds me of early Sierra and LucasArts graphic adventure games. Really the whole overall look of the game is reminiscent of those games as well.

This was a fun game. I thought it was going to be a serious type of game but was surprised by the humor in it. Lots of ginger jokes. LOL Gameplay is very original Prince of Persia style, minus the combat. This is a very puzzle type/ platform game.

One game, three boxes

Not a review of the game as I haven't played it yet. However, the steelbook in this edition shows a real lack of attention to detail: there are multiple typos on the text inside the steelbook cover. Strangely the same text is on the inside cover of the regular game box without the typos. It literally would have taken one glance at the text to notice the typos so I'm not sure what happened. I'm also not sure why this game comes with THREE boxes. It's a steelbook edition but I still have a paper box sitting on my shelf... Anyway, the game looks cool and I look forward to playing it, but this physical edition is just really confusing to me.

Plays like the first prince of persia, or flashback if youre familar with those older games, but the story is almost a comedic mix of 1984 and the truman show, if that makes sense. Gameplay can be tough but forgiving, prolly not for everybody but i enjoyed it. I did like it came bundled with a steelbook, i appreciate those things especially when the game is from a smaller developer and at a fair price.
