“A simple but very meaningful game. It shows how media and people’s reactions can quickly change society. Short, but it really makes you think. The fan-made port works well and keeps the original idea intact.”
“A short (5 min) game with an important message. Mass media shapes the way we understand the world around us, and they're incentivized to sensationalize and divide. I won't start quoting Michael Parenti but this game…”

“Decent one-time play. Very basic story. Which is a bummer because I feel like there should be options to portray stuff either positively or negatively. I understand that it's supposed to commentate on modern media and…”
“Great short game with a good message, but I wish they made multiple endings and gave us more things to interact with, as in take photos of. But overall I really enjoyed the time I spent on this game, I would recommend…”

“Instructive, pity that without a positive ending”
“While I understand and agree with the pretense this is a VERY linear arc and not true to what Media is like in the least! Just as it can be negative and very divisive that is not always the case and this game which only…”

“A game with a very basic story that changes drastically during the play, but sadly its a one-time play. It would be cool if there was something more to it but overall decent concept and idea of the game.”
“A simple game covering a horrifying reality to all of us who watch the news. If there was a full, extended version of this that would be so cool.”

“This game is a short but beautiful commentary on how that which we focus upon can impact the way we see & interact with the world. It'd be neat if there was more to it, but as it is, the game does exactly what it means to without wasting any of your time.”
— a player, Steam review · 0 hrs played“It’s nice and fun, but short. Deep meaning though”
— a player, Steam review · 0 hrs played“The game takes 5-10 minutes. It tells how we are manipulated through TV and the media, passing off lies as truth and truth as lies, and how, because of some scumbag, other people can kill each other, again through the media. The game has an additional ending after the credits,…”
