Difficult To Read Text:Yes
Almost all text is too small without magnifier
I played the News Tower demo as part of NextFest Feb 22 for about 4.5 hours, completing the available content. The game ran well and used little power even at the highest graphics settings. Unfortunately there is no text size setting and most is too small, especially tooltips, but once you get used to the interface and know what everything does this becomes less of a problem.
