News Tower is a newspaper management simulation video game developed by Rotterdam-based indie studio Sparrow Night and published by Twin Sails Interactive. The game entered Steam Early Access on February 13, 2024, for PC and Mac platforms, and was fully released on November 18, 2025. Set in 1930s New York City during the Great Depression and Prohibition era, players assume the role of a newspaper publisher tasked with building a media empire from a struggling local Brooklyn paper inherited from their uncle. Players navigate the complex world of journalism during a turbulent historical period, recruiting and managing various newspaper staff while searching for newsworthy stories across the globe. Players must balance journalistic integrity against pressure from influential factions including the mafia, mayor, military and high society figures who may offer rewards for favorable coverage, while designing and optimizing their newspaper headquarters floor by floor and meeting weekly publishing deadlines.
