Ministry of Broadcast – Game Review

Ministry of Broadcast: A Reality TV Adventure Game

Prepare for the ultimate reality TV journey in Ministry of Broadcast, a narrative-driven single player cinematic platformer set in a country divided by The Wall. Inspired by Orwell’s 1984 and modern reality TV, this indie retro game combines dark humor, sarcastic quips, and an absurd system to deliver an unforgettable gaming experience.

Your fervent desire to reunite with your family motivates you to compete in "The Wall Show," a Regime-organized TV spectacle where contestants can escape to freedom on the other side. As you progress through the show's camp, however, you soon discover the truth behind the Regime's deceptive promises. Freedom is not as simple as it seems.

Drawing inspiration from timeless classics like Prince of Persia and Oddworld: Abe’s Exoddus, Ministry of Broadcast rekindles the spirit of cinematic platformers. Test your nimble run-and-jump skills and navigate treacherous environments while evading the watchful eye of the Regime. Are you ready to overcome leg-shattering falls, flaming barrels of garbage, spike pits, and rusted beams? Be cautious, for the fate of those you encounter along the way hangs in the balance.
