What is Trending now?

This game serves as a satirical commentary on the manipulation of trending news by some social media platforms to influence public opinion or generate personal profit. However, it also acknowledges that, in certain situations, manipulating news might be necessary for the greater good of society. Players assume the role of an intern editor at a social media company, tasked with curating the next day's trending news. The challenge lies in striking a balance: selecting news items that benefit society and positively impact the company. Players must navigate media influence's ethical and practical considerations, making decisions that shape public discourse and awareness.
