Archives

The Archives are a Location in Not For Broadcast, residing within the Channel One Building.

Description[ | ]

The Archives are a dimly-lit region within the Channel One building, used to store and review old footage. It splits into three different sub-sections, accessible through the Archives' main menu.

Broadcasts Menu[ | ]

The Broadcasts Menu is a sub-section of the Archives, consisting of a worn-off desk and a television screen. Here, recordings of previous broadcasts can be viewed and played. Though the top search bar, key terms such as days and times can be entered to locate specific broadcasts. The order in which said broadcasts appear can be changed through a drop-down menu to the right of the search bar, allowing the menu to sort in terms of dates, levels, grades, or notes. Additionally, broadcasts can be selected by pressing a checkmark icon, allowing for them to either be deleted, or have their notes be edited. Having several broadcasts selected at once while doing so results in the same effect occurring to all of them, I.E. being deleted or having a note written on them.

Rushes Menu[ | ]

The Rushes Menu is a sub-section of the Archives, consisting of a tan desk and several television screens. Here, recordings of all four camera feeds from individual broadcast segments can be viewed and played, as long as they have been previously unlocked by the player. The segments are sorted in order of broadcast appearance, and when clicking on a specific broadcast, splits the list off into three smaller sub-sections coinciding with the three segments of each broadcast. Additionally, each camera feed can be muted separately from one-another.

Adverts Menu[ | ]

The Adverts Menu is a sub-section of the Archives, consisting of a worn-off desk and a television screen, similar to the Broadcasts Menu. Here, recordings of individual advertisements can be viewed and played, as long as they have been previously unlocked by the player. Similar to the Rushes Menu, the adverts are sorted in order of broadcast appearance.

The Archives first become available following the end of Day 1's broadcast, at which point Alex Winston receives a call from Dave regarding their arrival to the room. Over the phone, he guides them through the various sections of the Archives, instructing them on how to playback broadcasts and rushes.

After this point, the Archives are always accessible at the end of every broadcast, as well as through the Main Menu.
