Reigns: Her Majesty

In the sequel to the popular Tinder-inspired patriarch simulator Reigns, players were invited to explore the comic brutality—and social nuance—of a Queen’s life. 

Developed by Nerial and published by Devolver Digital, Reigns: Her Majesty is available on iTunes, Google Play and Steam, and received nominations at the 2018 GDC awards, the 2018 BAFTAs, and for Writing/Narrative Design (that’s my bit) at the 2018 Develop Awards.

Some of my favorite coverage of Her Majesty has come from IF legend Emily Short, arts magazine Rhizome, and Forbes. You can hear my talk about the game’s politics and narrative design here.
