The Kingdom Listens

THE KINGDOM LISTENS

The player is an aspiring news anchor working in a medieval kingdom with the technological sensibilities of the 90s, and has just received a promotion at the local news network: The Kingdom Listens.  When the kingdom starts to reflect the topics the protagonist chooses to cover,  whether prosperous or polluted, the player realizes they must make a choice between short term profit and true morality integrity for the sake of their community.

The Kingdom Listens is a 2D illustrated branching narrative simulation featuring immersive choice based gameplay and an interactive environment that reflects morality behind the player’s choices as the narrative develops .  Our goal was to simulate how Capitalism has encouraged irresponsible production & consumption within modern day News Coverage Media Outlets and how propaganda can damage an uneducated community.
