Truth Agency

Truth Agency is a narrative-driven strategy game where players take on the role of the head editor of a newspaper in a surveillance-heavy state. Inspired by titles like "Papers, Please", the game challenges players to balance truth, reputation, and political pressure as they grow their outlet into the most trusted news source in the country.

Players review incoming article drafts and compare their attached photos to real-time government camera feeds monitoring the outside world. This verification process becomes the basis for deciding which stories to publish and which to reject. Each decision impacts both the newspaper's credibility and its visibility in the public eye.

As the outlet gains prominence, players begin to face pressure from the government, which starts to dictate specific narratives — not all of them true. The player must then navigate the tension between maintaining journalistic integrity and complying with authority to stay in power.
