Game of the year 2025. Extremely entertaining public access TV sim that recreates the style of old tv shows with eerie accuracy. My favorite character is probably Naomi Lyfto, who is a perfect recreation of celebrity gossip reporters. Also good is Ned Telson, TV scientist, who is smarmy and clearly in it for the ratings, but makes a number of discoveries wrt the bend, and, in a nice touch, it is largely up to the viewer to determine how full of ♥♥♥♥ he is. Lots of the other shows and characters are charming, you'll soon discover your own favorites. All in all, I'm a fan. Big recommend!

WARNING: If you're actually sensitive to disturbing imagery or faces, don't play this game. The last act takes a harsh turn from the previously lighthearted, nonsensical tone and features analogue horror-like channels including disembodied faces in static with their eyes gone, mouths wide open and twitching, along with eerie distorted music and cosmic horror elements. The lack of ANY disclosure of imagery like this in the Steam description is honestly irresponsible, so play this at your own risk. If you aren't sensitive to that, then go ahead and give it a shot, because it is otherwise a remarkably unique game; basically a channelsurfing-equivalent to Hypnospace Outlaw but with virtually all of the interactivity removed. Don't bank on using this as a goofy tool to help you fall asleep though, because every 5-10 minutes, your screen will begin "losing connection" requiring you to fix the system, otherwise the visuals and audio become exceptionally warbled to the point of being incomprehensible static and white noise.
