ABOUT

THE
MISSION


Censorship and misinformation are everywhere. They are made more rampant by posts under 250 characters and clips shorter than a minute, showing snippets but twisting the reality.

Silencer would like to invite players to read medium-length in-game news articles. By taking actions as a news censor, the game encourages players to think about why the fictional government curates information in a certain way, and why the players have to censor what they censor in the game.

Ideally, players walk away from the game and go back to real life with new understandings of journalism and information control.
