Daughters of Exile

Picture
The original edition of Daughters of Exile was a finalist in the Game Chef competition in 2011, where the theme was "Shakespeare".  This is the Ultimate Edition, some four times longer with much more material.

The game is set in a sci-fi universe that follows the laws of Shakespearean narrative. The gods are megacorporations playing with mortal fates, and powerful local barons vie for power and control on space stations, while the Forest of deep space remains wild and untamed. Into this are thrown the Daughters, synthetic women built specifically to be the Perfect Wives, sold to wealthy husbands. But these women have rebelled, seeking freedom even at the expense of their own womanly natures.

Players take the role of these tragic characters, exploring the feminism of Shakespeare as a mirror of the feminism of today. Plus spaceships and robots. You can buy Daughters of Exile from our itch.io site by clicking the button below. 


"it is about how Shakespearean female characters often threaten to step out of gender roles but never actually manage it, and repairing that issue,” ...but it’s also Blade Runner. ...the strongest point of this game is by far the atmosphere, and the emotional reaction that it evokes. The sense of tragedy, inevitability, rage and despair at being denied what one deserves…" - Patrick Phelan
"The world building for Daughters of Exile is magnificent. I love the space opera setting and the feminist perspective" - Benjamin Branson

​Daughters of Exile has also been translated into French!  


Ill Planets Reign

Picture
Ill Planets Reign is a supplement to Daughters of Exile. In it you will find expanded information on the worlds of Mars and Venus and the cities and courts that dwell around them. On Mars we learn about the Sons of Adonis, a whole new playable character type that explores toxic masculinity and the concept of the Panopticon. With Venus we have provided an entire adventure for a Daughters of Exile crew. 

You can purchase Ill Planets Reign here.
