Riley & Rochelle is a narrative puzzle game about two musicians from very different backgrounds. You piece together their lives as they find their voices, rise to superstardom, fall in love and fall apart, using their music, journals and research into real events to learn who they are. The story explores 1990s pop culture and counterculture, artistic authenticity, the pressures of creation, who gets to make art and whether stardom means selling out.

Riley and Rochelle

Riley Stone comes from a working-class family in Detroit. He sells tapes from the back of his car at rock and roll clubs and works his way through the indie music scene, until he crashes into Rochelle’s limo at the Oscars.

Rochelle Robert is raised in regional Quebec, Canada, where her mother pushes her into child pageants. At eighteen, a pageant judge discovers her, but does not have her best interests in mind. She soon finds her own way to New York City and into the spotlight. Their unexpected love story unfolds through their loves, losses, thoughts and feelings.

Piece together their lives

You read journal entries, listen to the soundtrack and use the information available to uncover the pair’s past. Fill in the dates in their journals to solve the puzzle of who they really are, then make a movie about them and choose its ending, deciding who, if anyone, gets a happy one.

Music and the 1990s

The expansive, dynamic soundtrack covers 1990s pop ballads and indie grunge, with clues and secrets woven into the music. The game also draws on 1990s music, culture and fashion, from VH1 to VHS.
