All Will Rise

About the Game

The river burns. A god dies. A city awakes. 

This is All Will Rise, a narrative courtroom deck-builder about ordinary people who make the powerful pay for destroying our future. Play a lawyer who fights for the rights of the earth, as she and her team take a corrupt billionaire to court for a river’s murder.

EXPLORE MUZIRIS

Welcome to Muziris, in a world that could be ours. A vibrant city under pressure by powerful corporate and political interests. Mix with ecoterrorists and godmen, capitalist overlords and construction workers, conspiracy theorists and hacker seeresses. Boost your reputation with the city’s quarreling factions – keep the balance, or let tensions explode.

BUILD YOUR DECK 

Unlock cards by following leads and making choices. Claims represent evidence, and Rhetoric cards strengthen arguments with expressiveness and personality. Go on missions and interview witnesses to upgrade Claims from “speculative” to “undeniable”. Rhetoric cards can give the player different strategies to navigate tricky situations.

MANAGE YOUR TEAM

Send your team on missions – but take into account their strengths and weaknesses. Manage their emotions and respect their opinions. Keeping your team engaged is vital. If you push them too hard, they will burn out. 

MAKE YOUR CASE

Conversations are courtroom-style strategic card battles. Charm and persuade, or intimidate and manipulate. Play cards to influence people’s emotional energies - Hearts, Minds and Guts. Engage their emotions, or exploit their vulnerabilities to make your points. Choose your strategy carefully, potential allies could easily turn into determined enemies.

LIVE WITH THE CONSEQUENCES

Obey a dead river god’s summons – or defy them. Pass information to violent ecoterrorists – or maintain your pacifist ideals. Convince a corporate stooge to testify for you – or blackmail him with sensitive information. Your choices will determine the fate of Muziris. 

Make your case, and win the battle for the future. It’s in your hands.
