by Rainier on April 23, 2020 @ 8:00 a.m. PDT

As President Rayne, lead Sordland into ruin or repair in your first term in this text-based role-playing game.

Suzerain is a deeply intricate political drama tackling difficult choices on issues such as immigration, healthcare, law enforcement, and more. Can you pull the country out of its recession? Will you meet the demands of your people for reform? You can't please everyone, and every choice will have its consequences.

Navigate a political drama driven by conversations with your cabinet members and other significant figures. Beware or embrace corruption; shirk or uphold ideals.

Someone once said “Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely”As President Rayne, lead Sordland into ruin or repair in this text-based role-playing game. Navigate a political drama driven by conversations with your cabinet members and other significant figures. Beware or embrace corruption; shirk or uphold ideals. 

How will you lead?


Suzerain will be one of the headline titles from Fellow Traveller during LudoNarraCon 2020 running from April 24 - 27 on Steam. You can still sign up to take part in this digital festival celebrating over 40 narrative-based games along with demos and panels with game developers.

Key Features:

  • Immerse yourself into a deeply intricate text-based political drama: Navigate weighty conversations in this 200K-word story with branching paths.
  • Lead the fictional country of Sordland in the 1950s: Can you keep Sordland out of war with the encroaching nation of Rumburg? Can you launch and complete a new mega infrastructure project? Can you fix the welfare system? The responsibility falls on your shoulders. 
  • The story is new, but the issues are familiar: Tackle difficult choices on immigration, healthcare, law enforcement, and more in this alternate world set in the 1950s. Even outside the office, your beliefs will be challenged among your friends, and your family. Will you support the Equal Rights movement? Encourage government control of the media? Maintain traditional values or embrace reform? 
  • Do you trust your Cabinet?:Work closely with your Cabinet members to forge strong policies and practices for your government. But remember: everyone has their own ideals, and agenda. Pick your allies carefully, and your enemies even more carefully.
  • You cannot do everything. Every choice has consequences: Your Cabinet will advise you on all matters, but you cannot please everyone -- sometimes you can’t even please yourself. You will have to make sacrifices, be they moral, political or personal.
  • Which is more important, your country or your family?: It’s challenging to be a good father and a good president at the same time. Can you do both? If not, which one will you choose?
  • There are multiple endings. What will be your legacy?: You must find your own way through the complicated political landscape of your presidency. Where the country ends up at the end of four years is determined by your decisions.

Suzerain is coming to PC/Mac OSX (Steam) in Summer 2020.
