Set in the 1980s, players take on the role of a television studio director who is tasked with controlling the live broadcast of a nightly news program. The gameplay revolves around a series of moral choices and consequences, as players are faced with various decisions regarding what footage to show or cut, and how to present the news to the public.

Each decision impacts the storyline, shaping the perception of events for the audience and ultimately determining the fates of characters within the game as well as the tone of the nation’s news. With a blend of dark humor and social commentary, "Not For Broadcast" challenges players to navigate the tumultuous waters of media influence, exploring themes of free speech, manipulation, and the responsibilities that come with control over information dissemination. The game features a striking visual style akin to vintage broadcasts, enhancing the immersive experience and drawing players into its satirical narrative.
