R e l e a s e   N o t e s

A country divided by The Wall. To cross it and reach your family,
you must compete on - and win - a reality TV show broadcast by the
Regime.

Ministry of Broadcast is a narrative-driven single player cinematic
platformer mixing Orwell's 1984 with modern reality TV. Rife with
dark humor, sarcastic quips, and the absurdity of the system.

Seemingly built overnight, The Wall has divided both a country in
two and a man from his family. To see them again, our ginger-haired
protagonist has decided to become a contestant on "The Wall Show",
a Regime-organized TV show allowing competitors the opportunity to
escape to freedom on the other side. However, as he progresses
through the camp, our contestant soon realizes exactly how the
Regime and the show operate. The promise of freedom is not exactly
what it seems.

Cinematic platformer: Run, jump, crash, and climb your way
through each Arena as the narrative unfolds around you. Much of
the story is unveiled via smoothly integrated animation
sequences, within the environment, or from NPCs muttering bits of
dialogue as you dive and dodge around them

Environmental HUD: Rather than having a screen cluttered with
overlaid indicators, HP bars, and minimaps, any information the
player will need is incorporated into the environment. Hints and
clues are meshed into the game's art, subtle and specific,
players will need a keen eye if they want to survive each Arena
without breaking their legs

Puzzle-solving: Use your wits, and at times a dash of
ruthlessness, to advance through the Arenas. You'll have to
interact with the environment itself to solve most of the
puzzles: use the protagonist's momentum to move platforms, flip
the occasional lever, and sometimes you might have to sacrifice
an NPC or two to cross a particularly spiky pit

Story and Personality: Featuring lots of impish humor, Grade A
sarcasm, and comic mischief, all balanced perfectly with the
dark, heavy themes presented in this dystopian world

Languages: English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Portuguese,
Russian, Japanese, Korean and Chinese.

Update Notes: v1.0.1 (v65536). Firmware 10.0.2 and master key 9.1
are required.
