Our take on Ministry of Broadcast
Its defining structure is a platforming contest staged as a Regime-controlled television show, with each arena serving both as a traversal challenge and part of the protagonist’s attempt to cross the wall.
What is Ministry of Broadcast?
Ministry of Broadcast is a single-player cinematic platformer set in a country split by a wall.
A contestant enters a Regime-run television show to reach family on the other side, moving through dangerous arenas filled with drops, fire, spikes, beams, guards, and animals. Platforming relies on running, jumping, climbing, and controlling momentum, while environmental puzzles involve moving platforms, operating levers, and making difficult choices about non-player characters. Story details appear through animation within the surroundings and dialogue from characters encountered along the way. The game uses dark humor, sarcasm, and absurdity within its dystopian setting. Information is placed in the environment rather than in overlaid status displays, and the arenas include hidden locations and more than 30 distinct death sequences.
