IGNN International Galactic News Network - Deliver The News by Adam Jenness
https://thinksecretly.itch.io/ignn-international-galactic-news-network
As the news director responsible for planning the night's news, you find yourself in an unprecedented situation. Not only do you have to prepare news for multiple universes, each with its own distinct set of facts and headlines, but there's also a catch: each universe has only one headline, and any mistake in pairing the wrong headline with the wrong universe could cost you your job.
The pressure is on, and there's no room for error. You must carefully analyze each headline, cross-checking it with the specific universe's facts and context to ensure that you match each headline with its appropriate universe.
The stakes are high, but your experience and expertise in news directing give you the confidence to navigate this challenging task. You'll need to think creatively, keep a level head, and pay close attention to the details. Success will require all your skills, knowledge, and intuition.
The clock is ticking, and you know you must deliver accurate news for each universe or face the consequences. You take a deep breath, steeling yourself for the challenge ahead. There's no room for mistakes; your reputation, your career, and the trust of your audience are all on the line.
Make sure you full screen it for it to work

I don't really have many critiques, the game was pretty solid all around
The one thing I might say, though, is that some of them were pretty obvious, like one universe liquids didn't exist and multiple headlines, not just one, talked about water in some capacity, which made it a little too easy on some of them. Great job though, I loved playing!
One small thing I'd say is that it did take quite a while to read each headline (and while some of that is wording things a certain way to force the player to examine each statement carefully, I think another aspect of the clarity was the font, actually - it was hard to parse each headline on the right at a glance).
But overall, I enjoyed the game and was extremely glad to see that someone took the notion of "delivery" in this direction.
Top-tier voice acting for the newsdesk anchorman made me guffaw, as well - that part's absolutely an A-plus in my book.
very whimsical facts about the universes. I love the approach to the theme. this makes me want hang out with you haha
It was hard for me to read all of the instructions. not sure whether its the font size or the contrast between pure white and black. I got a bit confused staring at it. and because of that I had to restart the game to actually play.
Something to keep in mind that not everyone has your hard set resolution. even tho it is shown in ITCH resolution, you have to press full screen.
Great feel of the game!
An option to skip last cutscene would be very helpful; that way game would be more enjoyable to replay. I also think that adding some visuals (like simple icons) to the facts about the universe would make them more readable and the interface would become clearer.
Thanks for letting me play this on stream, you can find your timestamp on this video.

I think a bit more diversity in audio would have been nice but other than that super great :D
I was a bit confused at the beginning not understanding what I have to do. I also failed to read starting prompts in time, so I would suggest to give a player more control here
