Above the Fold

Above the Fold is a newspaper simulation game set in 1998 in the small town of Goodbury. A mysterious businessman buys the local newspaper, fires its staff and hires you as the new Editor-in-Chief. You rebuild and grow the paper while managing its staff, finances and relationships with advertisers, subscribers and its owner.

Run the newspaper

Hire reporters and assign them stories that match their interests. Choose which stories lead the front page, attract new subscribers and buy upgrades for your office. You also need to balance the finances, keeping some cash available for unexpected costs such as bailing a reporter out of jail or fixing a plumbing issue.

Manage the paper's fortunes

Handle random and historic events while trying to satisfy advertisers and the mystery owner. Your goal is to turn the unknown local paper into a world-famous media outlet.
