The Last Weather Report

After 31 years presenting the evening weather on a small regional channel, Dorothy has five broadcasts left. You help her prepare each one: reading the charts, writing the script and deciding what to say when the camera is on. In between, you see her week at home, at the station and with the people she will miss.

The studio scenes are bright blues and lurid weather-map greens; her home is warm and quiet. It is about 3 hours long and very well written. A strong pick for players who like short, emotional stories. The caveat: the forecasting minigame is lightweight, and some players may wish it had more depth.
