The Contrarian Press

Description

Step into the shoes of a news writer in **The Contrarian Press**, where your role is to shape public opinion by editing headlines to fit your boss's agenda. No journalism experience required! Your task: censor up to two words from each headline using click-and-drag controls, then pass the text to an illustrator for a visual twist. Every choice impacts the story's outcome, leading to multiple endings and over 20 unique collages to discover. The game blends satire with strategy, challenging players to balance truth and manipulation. Developed in 48 hours for the GMTK Game Jam 2023 by Joyce Zhang, Audrey Renouf, Adrian Ma, Weiwen "Andy" Jiang, Will Ozeas, and Scott King, it explores the theme of **Role Reversal**. Hints and walkthroughs are available online for those stuck. With a dynamic banda sonora and art inspired by Freepik and SoundCloud, this quirky experience invites players to question media narratives. Dive into a world where words are power—and erasing them.
