Breaking News is built around a restrained interaction system designed to generate sustained tension. Tasks continuously appear, time is limited, and accumulated stress subtly reshapes the player’s experience. Rather than relying on complex mechanics, the project focuses on pacing, repetition, and feedback to simulate the instability of a fast-moving newsroom. The visual language draws from breaking news aesthetics — bold typography, high contrast cues, and urgent motion — reinforcing the sense of speed and constant demand. Ultimately, the project reflects on how speed alters judgment, how urgency becomes normalized, and how systems shape behavior more than intention. The work was later selected as a GDC 2025 Alt Ctrl Finalist, recognizing its experimental interaction design and conceptual clarity
