News Tower is a newspaper management simulation and tycoon game available on macOS (via Steam alongside Windows and Linux) that challenges you to build and run your own newspaper empire in 1930s New York City. Developed by Sparrow Night and published by Twin Sails Interactive, News Tower fully released on November 18, 2025, after an Early Access period that began in February 2024.
In News Tower you step into the shoes of a struggling newspaper publisher during the Great Depression and Prohibition era, tasked with transforming a modest local paper into the city’s dominant media voice. Players manage every aspect of their newsroom — from hiring reporters, photographers, and support staff, to optimizing printing presses, telegraph desks, and editorial floors.
Gameplay mixes resource and staff management with strategic editorial decisions. Each week brings new stories and deadlines; you must choose which to pursue, balancing journalistic integrity against pressure from influential factions like the mafia, mayor, and elite society who offer rewards for favorable coverage.
The game also includes tower-building mechanics, letting you design and expand your headquarters floor by floor to meet both operational needs and employee comfort. News Tower combines simulation depth with narrative flair, historical atmosphere, and engaging challenges for fans of strategy and management games.
