Slow News Day

Try to avoid controversy as you deliver polarising (and occasionally ridiculous) news stories to the nation!

Slow News Day is a simple comedy game where you have to choose which of the available quips makes the most suitable follow-up for various one-line news stories. What will you do when someone's just donated their entire fortune to charity, and all you have left to use are negative remarks?!

Planned Future Additions

•  Inverse mode - Be as offensive as possible!
•  Weather section - Forecast: outrage!
•  Interviews - Alienate your guests!
• Voice lines - Everything is funnier out loud!
• Character creator - Design your news reporter!

Please feel free to comment any more suggestions you may have!
