Slay the Spire
Narrative Consultant
Slay the Spire is a roguelike deckbuilder where players craft a unique deck, encounter bizarre creatures, discover relics of immense powers, and attempt to slay the spire. The game has sold millions of copies worldwide, has been nominated for awards at The Game Awards and the Independent Games Festival, and holds a 10/10 rating on Steam with over 40,000 reviews.
I identified and proposed solutions to key narrative issues within the game, meeting with the lead designers remotely throughout the closed beta period of the game’s development. I also rewrote the entirety of the game’s narrative text and advised on future changes.
The images below were captured on 7.1.2019, from version 1.1 of the game. These narrative texts are present in the current version of the game, largely unchanged from my closed beta rewrites.
