Instead of combining Fire and Water to make a Steam Dragon, in Chat Royale we combine People and Ideas to create a New Social Space - that's our magic, an engine for crafting friendships! The combinations are endless:
Movies + Tarantino + Pulp Fiction = The Royale with Cheese Room
Books + Scifi + Dune = Bene Gesserit Pain Chamber
The Holy Shit moment didn't quite make it into the game fully (right now you just get a cheeky polaroid) but the idea is to create multiple emergent divergent and convergent mechanics to bring people apart and then bring them again together if their vibes are right - seeing you friend again should bring that 'holy smokes' energy. Of course we want to wrap it all as a video and audio driven live streamable game show - but that's next!
You get dropped in a chat and the game just screams choices at you: "Movies or Music?"—BAM, the wrong people vanish. "Tarantino or Marvel?"—POOF, more idiots gone. It gets deeper and weirder until it's just you and that one other person who agrees that Vincent Vega was the interesting one, not Jules - and that's probably your best bet for a decent conversation today, before you both get weird and disappear forever. You’ve just formed a modern friendship, well done!

Chat Royale - it’s not a cure, it's the nicotine patch for people who are too lazy for an actual cure. It's a game based on the only thing we're good at anymore: judging strangers instantly. It’s a goddamn people-blender, and you have the button. You get dropped into a chat with a bunch of... you know, mouth-breathers. And the game just starts screaming at you. No "hello," just pure, beautiful elimination.
"MOVIES OR MUSIC?"
You pick Movies. And—BAM—all the schmucks who think their Spotify playlist is a personality are just... gone. Just a puff of smoke where a bad opinion used to be. It's fantastic.
"TARANTINO OR MARVEL?"
You slam your thumb on 'Tarantino' and—POOF—another wave of morons disappears into the ether. Good. They can go talk about post-credit scenes in hell.
The questions get deeper, weirder, more specific. You're just mowing down humanity. It's the most productive you've been all year.
And then... silence. It's just you. And one other person. The one other person on the entire goddamn planet who agrees that Vincent Vega was the interesting one, not Jules. Jules was just yelling Bible verses he didn't understand. This person gets it.
That's the win. That's the whole prize. Not love. Jesus Christ, who has the energy for that? No, you get a decent-ish conversation. For today. This is your best friend for the next twelve minutes.
...and then one of you will say something weird about your mother and you'll both just fade away. Gone forever. You know... a modern friendship.
So, yeah. That's the game. Get in there and choose some stuff until you're a little less alone.
