Description
Something is rotten in City Hall—can you uncover it and...win a Pulitzer? When the mayor unexpectedly resigns, it's up to you, the rookie reporter on the City Desk to find out the real story and get it into print. Right away you smell a rat. As you track down sources and information, your reporter's instincts, brains, heart, or impeccable writing will lead you to the truth.
"The Daily Blackmail" is a 33,000 word interactive fantasy novella by Mary Duffy, where your choices control the story. It's entirely text-based—without graphics or sound effects—and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.
In The Daily Blackmail, you'll get all the news that is (and isn't!) fit to print.
• Play as male, female, or non-binary. • Cross paths with an evil editor, a mobster, and even scarier: the publisher. • Lie, cheat, and steal to get your front page story. • Press your colleagues, political cronies, and underworld sources for information. • Reach for every reporter's dream—a Pulitzer Prize.
Recent changes: You can now choose a font in the Settings menu. Switch to Helvetica for crisp sans-serif text, or try the OpenDyslexic font, designed against some common symptoms of dyslexia. If you enjoy "The Daily Blackmail", please leave us a written review. It really helps!

Honestly, this game gets too harsh of a review. It has a few typos, but I liked it, hope the author didn't get too discouraged.
★★★★☆David White· Apr 22, 2017
Not particularly good but worth the free price. The game was short but fulfilled the promise of chronicling a single story.
★☆☆☆☆Chun Keat Chin· Apr 14, 2017
This game is possibly the worst out of all the other choice of games I've played. I can endure numerous bugs and mistakes, but the story ends in the most abrupt way imaginable and half of the achievement page comes is made up of a single choice selection where you choose from 20 or so choices which food do you want to eat during a certain meeting. This is quite literally half a scam. I would advise strongly future buyer to NOT buy this game.
★★☆☆☆Brittany Bastian· Apr 15, 2017
Let me start by saying that I am long time player of Choice of Games. I like that they are expanding their truly free games. But, this story seems like it was cut short just as I was getting into it. This game doesn't offer the same sense of queer character creation, and wasn't nearly as compelling. Part of that is how short it is: the actual writing was well done.
