Wake Up Oveas

A brutal winter awaits the city of Oveas. You're a journalist living paycheck to paycheck, working for the struggling but influential newspaper company; the Oveas Courier. After being bought out by an off-world mega corporation, you now not only spread news, but propaganda and the mega corp's agenda as well.

How To Play: 

• When writing an article, you are provided with a number of sources that you can inspect and read. Sources usually contain points that you can click on to add them to your article. 
• If you don't choose enough points for your article, you won't be providing enough content for your readers, and your pay will get docked. 
• Be careful what points you choose to include, however, since you can get fined for spreading blatant misinformation.
• The Agria Foundation owns the Oveas Courier, and by extension, you. Keep their agenda and interests in mind lest you be fired for spreading what they don't want you to.
• If you find yourself aligning with a particularly relevant point, select it from your list of points and click on the (Highlight ) button to increase it's contribution to your article.
• Listen for context clues, cross reference your sources, and trust your gut. Good luck and try not to get fired!
