In All Will Rise, you will need to go on missions and interview witnesses to upgrade Claims from “speculative” to “undeniable”. It’s important to be able to back up your claims, as there will always be people ready to call you out.

Muziris, the stunning backdrop to our adventure in All Will Rise, is as vibrant as the people who live there. Your choices throughout the game will determine the fate of Muziris. Make wise ones.

Kuyili, Joy and Shintu. A tight-knit team, ready to build their case for the dead river god of Muziris. It won’t be easy, and they’ll have to work closely together if they want any chance at success.

Conversation is not just talking. You’ll need to keep a keen eye on the facial expressions of those you’re speaking to, for telling reactions to the cards you play. There’s a lot to learn from narrowed eyes or a smirking mouth, don’t you think?

A welcoming space for all. Our team of activists need to be able to catch up, knowledge share and plan their next course of action. Here they are able to do it.

Shabeer, the fisherman who knows the gossip of Muziris like the back of his hand. A grieving conspiracy theorist, suspicious of all. A vital asset to your case, but only if you can win him over.

Shabeer, a resident of Muziris. This fisherman is a local institution. Knows all the good gossip – but has become obsessed with conspiracy theories since his brother drowned at sea last monsoon.

Falak Suleiman is pragmatic, self-interested and, most importantly, Kuyili’s friend-turned-rival. In the case of the river’s murder, Falak will do what it takes to protect Rishabh and the conglomerate she works for.

Muziris is a vibrant city under pressure by powerful corporate and political interests. You’ll need to mix with ecoterrorists and godmen, capitalist overlords and construction workers, conspiracy theorists and hacker seeresses to bring them to justice.

A lot has changed during the development of All Will Rise, including the card design! With the cards being such an intricate part of the game, we knew they had to be visually impactful while conveying important information. Take a look at some of our earlier versions!
