The Havoc Channel Demo 📺
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
It's happening again...
The year is 1997 and the city of Brookside is devastated by an unexplainable phenomenon. Play as Seth Bentrew, a wet-behind-the-ears newscaster, to solve mysteries, learn about the city's past, and protect the Brookside citizens from disaster - all while sitting in the anchor man's chair.
The Havoc Channel is a mystery/comedy visual novel game with point and click aspects and multiple endings.
Full game coming soon!
For now, please enjoy the demo available below for either Windows or Mac (both are contained in ZIP files, and on Mac you will likely be warned about the safety of the file. This happens with any non-Apple licensed program. I promise it is just a video game demo lol)

Hi try500! I played through the opening section of The Havoc Channel demo and put together a short Simplified Chinese localization sample for it.
I spent some time looking at Seth’s internal monologue vs. his on-air voice, Bralta’s very different delivery, the hard-news segments, and the player-choice UI rather than just translating isolated lines.
If Simplified Chinese localization is something you might consider for the full release, I’d be happy to send you the sample. What would be the best way to reach you?
Thanks — I really enjoyed the demo!
Letsgo!! Can't wait to check this out!
THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT! Hope you enjoy :)
