Roller Drama is both a narrative and a strategic real-time sports game about five girls playing Roller Derby in an oppressive and surveillance-based society. In Roller Drama you are the mentor and coach of a Roller Derby girl's team of five (the standard
in-game team of one jammer and four blockers).
You have to:
- Live coach during matches (real-time gameplay);
- Try to be a spiritual, existential guide for this problematic team in their life between matches.
Daily life in the game's world is not easy; political and environmental problems interfere with complex personal lives. The game's universe is a slightly altered perspective on today's world, with the same problems but... more explicit.
It's a dystopia that talks about our present (© Terry Gilliam).
