Beat the Book Studios, with assistance from VicScreen and the Victorian State Government in Australia, has launched Kingdom Catastrophes, an innovative new game available for free on Android and iOS platforms. 1-4 players have a week (10-45 minutes in real time) to save a fairy tale kingdom destined for disaster. Kingdom Catastrophes offers 20 beautifully illustrated fairy tale locations to tickle the taste buds of a range of players. Hundreds of stories and illustrations are randomised each play, developing and changing to reflect players’ choices.
“Kingdom Catastrophes gives players lots of ways to express themselves and follow their interests. Players not only make choices to progress the story, but build their strength, magic, and charisma to help bash, blast, and bluff their way through wacky fairy tale situations,” said Ben Clark, the award-winning author of Kingdom Catastrophes.
Players have the freedom to kiss or kill hideous beasts, copy or capture evil druids, or even teach a duke to dance! Any choice can contribute towards saving the kingdom, regardless of whether players decide to spend the week adventuring with pirates, hobnobbing with royals or exploring the Dark Scary Woods (or Darker Scarier Woods if they are really brave…). While clever decisions can help players build skills and unlock hidden stories, ill-considered ones can have dramatic consequences, destroying entire locations for the duration of the game.
Exposing reluctant young readers to the wonderful world of storytelling, via a platform they are already engaged with, was a driving force behind the game. Ben believes the best way to get kids learning is to get everyone laughing. He adds that interactive narratives help kids get in on the jokes and make them their own. Kingdom Catastrophes has already received positive reviews and sets a new standard in learning and narrative games.
