Rating(s) | 95% (Steam)

**Not For Broadcast: Bits of Your Life** is the second DLC for Not For Broadcast, developed by NotGames and published by tinyBuild. The DLC released on 14 November 2023.

## Description

Set before the main campaign of Not for Broadcast, *Not For Broadcast: Bits of Your Life* looks at how Prime Minister Peter Clement went from a TV Show host to the leader of Advance. Dave's an irritating prick whose editing the special edition of Channel One's favourite talk show 'Bits Of Your Life', with Peter Clement as the main guest.

Though he could play nice and follow the script, the script sucks, and he's not getting paid enough anyway. Solve the game's riddles, bring out the guests in the completely wrong order, and challenge the norms of traditional storytelling in order to unlock 10 unique endings and reveal another piece of the puzzle that is Peter’s life. All for the sake of keeping the audience glued to their seats and Dave entertained throughout his shift.

Because some editors just want to watch the show burn.

## Release History

During the 2023 IGN Fan Fest stream on February 17, a new trailer for the DLC *Live & Spooky* was shown, ending with the mention of a season pass and deluxe edition. Soon after, NotGames' Twitter confirmed this, and revealed that two more DLCs would release after Live & Spooky, called *Bits of Your Life* and *The Timeloop*. Pages for the DLCs appeared on Steam and other online stores, giving small details about the premise. The page for the season pass also revealed that the DLC would release in 2023.

After the release of *Live & Spooky* on March 23, a teaser for the DLC is shown after its credits. It shows a bumper for a new season of *Just The Job* premiering later, and features Peter with his co-host. It also announced that the DLC is coming "later this year", though no further details were given.

In the middle of May, beta-testing for Bits of Your Life was announced, held by select volunteers in Not For Broadcast's official Discord server. Recruited participants were required to already own the Not For Broadcast Season Pass, provide their hardware specifications, and sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement before being granted access to the 'boylbeta' testing branch and added to the server's private beta-testing channel. The beta lasted for roughly two weeks, and ended on May 22, 2023. In a server announcement regarding the beta recruitment, it was also stated that the Bits Of Your Life release was getting closer.

On August 8, an 'exclusive interview' with Peter Clement was announced, held 'to address the nation and answer YOUR questions'. Following the announcement, a survey was opened for submissions and asked questions had a chance to be featured in the upcoming interview. The form was closed 3 days later, on August 11.

The Bits of Your Life DLC release date was announced on October 19, with further information about the DLC posted on all social media pages and the Steam store page.

On November 10, clips from the previously-announced interview with Peter Clement were posted on the official NotGames Twitter, with further clips being released daily leading up to the DLC's release.

## Trivia

* While most promotional logos for *Bits of Your Life* show Dave at the controls, the one seen at the end of the post-credits teaser for *Live & Spooky* shows Alex instead.
	+ This is most likely a mistake, as the DLC's official Steam page once also included the promotional logo with Alex before being updated in late February 2023, described by NotGames developers as being a placeholder.
