"The country was divided by a wall. The only way to get to the other side is to participate and win in the reality TV show organized by the ruling regime."
Read original review"An odd combination of George Orwell&s;s 1984, puzzle platforming and comedy, which doesn&s;t blend as well as you&s;d hope. As good as the setting is, it doesn&s;t make up for the rigid platforming or out of place jokes."

"It&s;s not perfect – the in-game dialogue is well-written but rough around the edges, with plentiful typos and grammar confusion – but that&s;s not enough to distract from Ministry of Broadcast&s;s terrific level design and superb visuals. Nothing new here, …"
