unlabelledView post →REVIEW: In the last two weeks, I've spent 30+ hours playing the remarkable News Tower, a PC/Mac strategy game about chasing deadlines and making hard choices while publishing a weekly newspaper in New York City in the 1930s. www.gamefile.news/p/news-tower...
unlabelledView post →News Tower is a little hidden gem! If you liked Game Dev Tycoon, I think you'd probably love this one. Very similar gameplay loop, but running a media publication... and as we all know, running media publications is a lot of fun!
unlabelledView post →This game is infinitely more deep than I could have imagined. It’s so damn fun. Literally all I want to do is play more News Tower
unlabelledView post →The best thing I can do for other game developers is to talk about their games. So be sure to check out NEWS TOWER - it's a really cool newspaper publishing sim. Imo it strikes a great balance of being casual vs having a ton of systems to play with. store.steampowered.com/app/1649950/...

unlabelledView post →Since fiction became my job, I unwind now with games that include no story at all. I have a fleet of trucks in American Truck Simulator, run a publishing company in News Tower, and still play whatever the latest 4X game is that doesn't make my head hurt with details. R.I.P. Kerbal Space Program!

unlabelledView post →News Tower is probably my favourite indie this year: run a New York newspaper in the 1930s. It's a stately strategy game much of the time but when it's close to deadline, it turns into an Against the Storm-style white-knuckle time management game. Brilliant. store.steampowered.com/app/1649950/...

unlabelledView post →NEWS TOWER is a good game because the mayor will request “no political news!” and then mother jones dies so you instruct your reports to scrub her obituary of all political content and then the mayor introduces you to the chief of police as your reward. basically a documentary.

unlabelledView post →News Tower is a tycoon management newspaper sim with a 1930's flair. A fun game worth checking for at least management game fans. Here is my review gamingacrossgenerations.wordpress.com/2026/02/18/n...

unlabelledView post →I'm usually not into any kind of business game but News Tower is a very charming game with a fun soundtrack and just the right balance between micro-management and sitting back to enjoy watching all your little guys Do Their Thing. I named my newspaper The Ceaseless Watcher.
unlabelledView post →Seems like News Tower from Sparrow Night and @twinsails.bsky.social is back on the Steam Trending list - deservedly. Its dev Jan-Maarten Nachtegeller was kind enough to speak to me about the 1930s newspaper-running sim last year. Highly, highly recommended gameroom.substack.com/p/news-tower...
unlabelledView post →If you mean the game, it's on Steam, I believe it's still in Early Access (bundled with News Tower and Ale Abbey). If you mean to check out the movie, I may have bad news for you. 😉 Also, if you get it, get the name-fixing mods; the default list in the game *hurts*.
unlabelledView post →youtu.be/T83cgdRwO_c Playing a new game! This is News Tower by Sparrow Night and published by @twinsails.bsky.social! It's a perfect blend of worker placement and business management that is perfectly tailored for me. I'll definitely continue it in my late night SomNinja recordings!
unlabelledView post →I had really high hopes for News Tower but it's too much Tower for me. I would have enjoyed the game a lot more if it had half the tower mechanics. I really love the setting though.
unlabelledView post →AGR Day 10: NEWS TOWER A tycoon game where you manage your own newspaper in 1930's NYC. Build your tower level by level and hunt down some scoops based on real life events of the time. You get more viewers and cash by comboing topics and adding more pages to your paper. It's pretty addicting 1/2
