Hi, just to say I couldn’t get this started on Linux, but it worked fine after installing the following with apt:
libnss3:i386 libxtst-dev:i386 libgconf-2-4:i386
Out of curiousity what game engine is Headliner made with ? I was thinking it was Electron based but wasn't sure.
It's Phaser (HTML5+JS) and I used NWJS to package it as standalone :)
Oh nice, I hadn't heard of them before. It's open source to boot, I'll have to start donating.
SPOILERS ahead (this is me reposting my review into the comment section as i dont know if you can view reviews on ITCH.IO sorry if that is possible because i dont know how to view reviews)

Im not a fan of this game, while some might say that i just need to do another playthrough and that i didnt see the whole game, i wont play this game again, this game just wasnt very good, it was ok at the best and i really didnt like my ending as it felt like i died for nothing, the daughter didnt stand up for what she believed in despite me often choosing the dialog options for her to do what she believes is right. basically, everyone i knew in this game suffered and i died, and nothing stayed and society stayed in status quo somehow despite the local headliner who supported Purists rights and made modified people out to be aggressors often (which for many cases they certainly were) was killed and a celeberity outed for being a purist with support still performed and also was killed. yet somehow nobody cares. what did i do wrong? was i supposed to support everything that says bad about modification even if its borderline advocating slavery (either that or im misunderstanding what compulsory labor means) this game, at least of my playthrough seems to be center in the idea of Honest press is dead, you must be for oppression and racist to succeed because thats where the money is at, or thats what i was getting for this game. avoid this game unless you are curious of the roots of HEADLINER:NOVINEWS which is actually a good game. i guess you get what you pay for with a 3 dollar game (or not if you are like me and got it from the bundle) so overall, dont get this game, get Novinews or other simular games like 'Not For Broadcast' while it isnt the same as Headliner, its fun and delves in similar ideas.
My rating for this was 2 stars as i feel like i may have somehow did something wrong, like a wrong choice or something that made the world logic just make no sense, because NoviNews (which i played second) is nothing like this
To clear up the question about reviews: how they work on Itch.io is they show up on the activity feed of those who are following you. There is now way for the general public to view them unless you post them in the comments like you did. Hopefully one day that gets changed.
Thanks!, i hadnt touched ITCH.IO since i played Escaped Chasm and only began using it when i bought the Racial Justice Bundle. Thank you very much!
There's two versions and they are both included in the black lives matter bundle. What's the differences though?
Headliner: NoviNews is a sequel to HEADLINER, and it's a whole separate game :)
Hi! Could you update the first Headliner too (I'd love to play it in french)? Thank you to be part of the Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality!
Gotcha, will work on updating it soon with the new languages :)
Hello,
The info page lists many languages including German, but when I open the game (in Linux) the language selection only show a few options, German not included.

So, I love this game and plan to get many people hooked to it. You are a headliner and a big news company. Your choices actually matter and change the world around you. It touches on subjects that are hard and what people sometimes ignore. I feel like this game is very relevant and reflects our world now.
The graphics are perfect for this game. The characters are unique and more than just another character in the story. You start to really like them. This game also holds nothing back so as always keep yourself safe while playing trigger wise.
I have only played this once but I am excited to find every route there is. It is meant to play multiple times and you can unlock new characters and their story which happily surprised me.

Even though this game is $2.99 on itch.io I would easily spend $10-$15 and of course I am going to spread the word.
