Silencer

Overview

The oppressive regime has been overthrown, but the new government is just as bad, if not worse… And you are a low-level news censor recently employed by the new Ogalian regime. While journalism and politics are full of censorship and misinformation, you will wrestle with the ultimate choice: Should you censor dissenting voices for the government or let the people be heard?

Key features

• You read and take down articles that violate rules. That's it.
• Who doesn’t make mistakes? Your job is still safe, but you have to write an apology to the government every time you slip.
• Government employees, including YOU, must drink tea, or you get fired. Where does the tea come from? You buy it from a government-owned shop.
• And you might find yourself running out of money quickly, thanks to all the mandatory tea purchases. Maybe you should consider taking a bribe?
• And long live Ogalia. Never forget to say it. Long live Ogalia.
