Play Rogue Story

Rogue Story currently only runs on Microsoft Windows.

Steps to Play

1. Download Rogue Story prototype (4.5 GB)
2. Unzip RogueStory V00.15.00.zip
3. Open RogueStory V00.15.00/Rogue Story.exe
4. Play the game and reflect on your experience. A particular focus of our discussion will be critiquing how the game teaches the player new mechanics. The best games do this with a minimum of words and instructions—instead, they teach experientially by designing things for the player to do. We've previously discussed games that do this well, such as Portal and Slice Fractions.
   • If the game is taking a while to start, don't worry—the first launch can sometimes take a few minutes. Windows may be running a quick security scan in the background (via Microsoft Defender). Once that's done, the game will launch.
