The Kickstarter campaign for All Will Rise: a narrative courtroom deck-builder has gone live. This game, developed by the team of Speculative Agency, has our own Joost Vervoort as science and impact director. He leads the academic side of the project and focus on the societal impact of the game.

From the campaign website:

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 fighting for the rights of the earth, as she and her team take a corrupt billionaire to court for a river’s murder.

Welcome to Muziris, in a world that could be ours. A vibrant city under pressure from 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. Every decision tests your strategy, moral compass, and commitment to justice.
