Extended Description
In Roller Drama you (Joan) live together with five athletes as their coach and hopefully
friend:
Anne, Portia, Pippi, Cordelia, and Juliet. They just formed a Roller Derby top team!
Portia is the property “guardian”, the others (you too) just squatted in the dilapidated
building. You
have to try to be
the balancing factor as these top athletes develop close personal relationships and the group
navigates
rivalries and
love stories.
REAL-TIME FULL-CONTACT SPORT!
All this while playing Roller Derby-like full-contact matches, where in real time you have to
give the
right hints,
decide strategies, and give orders. You’ll have arcade-like controls and power cards!
SURVEILLANCE
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 of today’s world, with the same problems
but... more
explicit.
It’s a dystopia that talks about our present (thank you Terry Gilliam).
