Riley & Rochelle

Once it was established that I would be a good point of reference for Celine Dion, Tim and I casually took a deep dive into pop culture in the 90s, and 00s, researching all the tropes and rock and roll cliches. There was a lot of listening to stuff: listening …

Fiona has been an incredibly important collaborator. First appearing in Rivals, she has since been in Conspiracy! and now plays the steely Sabrina in Riley & Rochelle. Tirelessly dedicated, versatile and precise, she is a brilliant person to work with.

Dashiell was a real find. Like many games I've made, his character was initially small but grew as the game developed. He brings great wit and energy to Trent - the media gadfly.

Zaida is our voice of Rochelle. She is a Jamaican-Canadian voice actor who brings wit, verve and compassion to the role. She was truly a find and we feel so lucky to work with her.

Listen to River of Roses (Click) River of Roses represents the high point of both Riley & Rochelle's artistry and their romance. I knew that I wanted this song to be grand, sweeping, powerful and full of longing. Coming from 1998 and written by Riley, I also w…

Getting there slowly By the time Natalia and I thought of Riley & Rochelle, I’d been making games for around a year and a half. I had started making extremely stupid games about typing, robots, moles and eggs with moustaches. I jammed these all up online for t…
