Newscape

Today, media is impossible to escape and is constantly brought to our attention whether we want it or not. Constant reminders of topics that we feel we should care about, affect us or loved ones, or stress us out, are all around us. How do we balance being an informed citizen while not getting overwhelmed by news we have no control over? In Newscape the only objective is to survive for as long as you can by balancing being informed (awareness) and your capacity for dealing with negative information (stress). Even if you have perfect survival, you cannot win to leave the game, because in real life we don't get the option of perfect life-balance, nor of stopping global events and coverage of them. Walk around the space to observe how some objects may be beneficial or harmful to you in game, and reflect how their real life counterparts affect you personally. 

WARNING: This game includes content that may be disturbing to some players. It also has some objects with rapidly changing visuals. 

NOTE: Enter full screen on the start screen before clicking "begin" for best experience. You may need to click the game screen again after the start screen to load the video textures and lock the cursor to the screen.
