A robot reporter chasing down stories about alien cats: how Times & Galaxy nails journalism

A game about a robot becoming a journalist feels a bit on the nose right now, in the midst of stories about writers being replaced by AI. But Ben Gelinas, director of Times & Galaxy, says it was never his intention to make a point about the rise of artificial intelligence. The intention was to focus on journalism itself. "You can't write for everybody, and I'm trying to show that." You play as Reporterbot, the first ever robot reporter for the Times & Galaxy, a space "holopaper" that's produced aboard a starship.
