+ A very interesting concept where you play as a newspaper editor and edit newspapers to censor out certain things to influence the population while trying to avoid suspicion from the government. 
+ Nice old post-war aesthetic similar to Papers Please
+ Great dialogue and propaganda ads and events that influence your actions while also causing you to fear or go against the government while swaying the minds of the people.
+ Easy to learn and understand 

- Gets a bit repetitive early on, you mainly just read articles and cross out paragraphs
- No real sense of reward or accomplishment as you progress (I feel this game could have been improved if you were actually earning money from sales or a bonus from the government, for example in Papers Please if you did perform your job well than you would not earn enough to provide for your family)

Overall it is a nice experience, but the gameplay isn't rewarding enough to play for extended periods of time.
