No news hoax like the Great Moon Hoax
On Aug. 25, 1835, the New York Sun newspaper published the first in a series of articles about new life and an established civilization dwelling on Earth's moon.
These wholly fabricated stories talked about goat people, temple-building man bats, unicorns, and two-legged beavers.
Popular journalism's come such a long way, hasn't it?
Knee Deep, the indie swamp noir adventure on Steam, is both a celebration and a wake for old and new journalism - from ever-declining print newspapers to ubiquitous but often poorly sourced blogs.
Two of the game's central characters work as reporters. Jack Bellet, a curmudgeonly print journalist, writes for the Cypress Knee Notice. Romana Teague, a flaky blogger, posts for a gossip blog called Fanrage.
During the game, players get to choose facts and spins for the stories produced as the adventure moves along.
Some of them might even be true.

When a washed-up actor hangs himself on location, a spotlight is cast on the backwater Florida town of Cypress Knee. Your screen becomes a stage on which you investigate this mysterious suicide as three distinct characters: cheeky blogger Romana Teague, down-and-out local reporter Jack Bellet, and cynical private investigator K.C. Gaddis.
Experience a magical reality where characters are transported among scenes, set pieces moved into place, and music wafts from the orchestra pit. Knee Deep is about characters, storytelling, and the melodrama of swampland Florida.
