About the game
What you do in a play session
Get your best camera angle ready and set aside your journalistic ethics, because things are about to get heated! Sept Solines drops you right into the heart of one of France's most controversial recent events: the conflict in Sainte-Soline between protesters and police over the 'ega-bassines' project. But here, impartiality is not on the menu. Your role is to take charge of a conservative television network and shape public opinion to your advantage.
The real challenge isn't just reporting what happened, but deciding how you choose to tell that story. You'll need to produce reports that highlight the chaos and damage caused by the protests, while strategically downplaying the violence committed against the protesters. It's a game of perception and narrative manipulation. As an influential media outlet, your coverage decisions will determine how society views the conflict.
With a quick playtime of 30 to 45 minutes, the game is an intense exercise in spin doctoring. You'll need to manage your narrative as precisely as a news editor during a breaking news bulletin. Can you control public opinion and emerge as the winner of the political narrative? If you enjoy games that tackle complex social themes and auction mechanics that test your nerve, Sept Solines is your next challenge. Prepare your script, set your tone, and get ready to enter the game of political propaganda!
