The Newspapers of the day Steam Next Fest Demo Is Now Available

Decide today’s front page. The Newspapers of the day is participating in the June 2026 edition of Steam Next Fest. In this demo, you can play as the editor-in-chief of a newspaper in 1920s Gyeongseong, Korea under Japanese colonial rule. The demo covers 26 days of the story, from coverage of the abolition of flogging to the eve of the June 10th Independence Movement. Send reporters into the field, gather testimony and leads, and decide which articles to print and which words to erase. The newspaper you publish can change trust, influence, censorship risk, and the fate of the people around you. What you can experience in the demo: - Gather article material through reporting and dice-based checks - Build each issue through article selection, censorship choices, and page layout - Balance trust, influence, and censorship risk with every editorial decision - Manage reporters with their own convictions and stress - Face the consequences left by both reporting and silence - Experience a historical political simulation adventure set in 1920s Gyeongseong English support for the demo is currently being updated. Japanese, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese support are planned for a future demo update.
