Time to catch up with some gaming news that’s not quite fresh but unlikely to go stale just yet. The first is Times & Galaxy – space journalism, courtesy of Copychaser Games and Fellow Traveller.

You play the galaxy’s first-ever robot reporter, where you must start from the bottom as an intern, working through the biggest news and finding reputable sources. Because that’s what journalists do…

Key features in Times & Galaxy include:

  • GET THE SCOOP! Pick a story to cover & blast off to investigate! Interview sources, digging up clues and investigating the scene. We hope your conversational circuits are well-oiled as you’ll meet more than 100 characters and ask a lot of questions. 
  • WRITE YOUR OWN STORIES! Use the Build-A-Story™ tool to construct your article using all that info you gathered. You were a diligent reporterbot and managed to get ALL the info, right?
  • IMPRESS OR ANNOY YOUR COLLEAGUES! In between assignments, you’ll have the chance to get to know a diverse and colorful crew of two dozen characters including the other reporters, editorial staff, pilots, and ship’s crew.
  • MAKE THE SCANNER YOUR HOME! Over time, friends on the crew will upgrade your systems to turn you into a super-powered truth sleuth. You’ll also have to help keep the ship from falling into chaos on your days off. 
  • MADE BY REAL JOURNALISTS! Multiple writers on the Copychaser team worked at newspapers as reporters or editors before entering the games industry. They maintain a deep love of the craft and, through Times & Galaxy, wish to highlight their deep appreciation of local reporting.

Here’s the game trailer:
