* TrailersAlwaysSpoil: A rare in-universe example. At the beginning of the Day 153 level, Boseman encourages you to play Advance's PSA during the second ad break. The PSA is about the new [[WeWillHaveEuthanasiaInTheFuture Transition Centres]]. But right after the second ad break, is the prime ministers' interview in which they formally announce the Transition Centres. So if you follow Boseman's advice, you spoil the interview for the viewers (although this has no in-game effect).

Utilizing [[InteractiveMovie FMV]], the gameplay is very similar to ''VideoGame/PapersPlease'', in that you are running a broadcast with very strict rules and regulations that you ''must'' follow, or else your ratings (and subsequently your salary) will plummet. This includes censoring swear words, cutting to different shots, and picking the right ads to play during commercial breaks by manipulating the broadcast console in real time.
