Roller Drama

The visual novel / sport management mashup game of your (anxiety-ridden?) DREAMS! Lead a team of Roller Derby athletes using strategy and real-time controls. Outside the ring you’ll have to manage five big personalities as they grapple with friendship, heartbreak, and late capitalist society…

A SITCOM?!?

In Roller Drama, you (Joan) live with & coach five kickass athletes: Anne, Portia, Lily, Cordelia, and Juliet. Together they form a top Roller Derby team, a full contact sport on quad skates!



Your job is to act as a keeper of the team, managing both their personal and professional lives. Try to balance everyone’s emotions as they navigate rivalries, friendships, and love.

REAL-TIME FULL-CONTACT SPORT!

While personal dramas rage on, you’ll also need to manage Roller Derby matches in real time! Plan strategies, give orders, and manage the match using arcade-inspired controls.

SURVEILLANCE

Roller Drama is set in a dystopian alternative world where things are going… slightly worse than they are here. Political and environmental upheavals interfere with daily life.
