Nerial's new experimental Reality TV game is available now!

It's the pilot episode of 1999's hottest reality TV show, The Crush House!

Cast, film, and produce the show for maximum drama while balancing what the audience wants to see and what the talent needs from you. If you don't get CANCELLED, you might even discover the secrets behind the house's plastic veneer.

have tried to make something experimentally silly and still fun. We think that The Crush House is unlike anything we've made before and any other game. You may find that the procedural dialogue system and the need to balance audience thirsts is Reigns-esque. Since this is live television, you'll find lots of product placement from familiar games. It has been a long journey since the first Reigns game 8 years ago, and we want to thank you for being a part of it! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2337820/The_Crush_House/

New Reigns Game is available NOW!

Reigns: Three Kingdoms is available NOW!

This new instalment in the Reigns series is undoubtedly our most ambitious one yet. Based on the beloved epic, The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, you'll take on the challenge of uniting 13 regions of the Han Dynasty, one decision at a time. Each region contains unique characters, storylines and quests where you'll use diplomacy, courtship and military strength to become its leader. Each of these plots are adapted from the web of stories found in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms which means you'll meet many legendary characters along the way. Those characters will join your party in the card battle system. It was a challenge to build engaging battles with only two inputs, left and right, but we believe we have done it. You can even draft your deck to challenge friends online or test your wits to climb the ranked leaderboard. Reigns: Three Kingdoms is AVAILABLE NOW on Android and iOS exclusively for Netflix subscribers. [previewyoutube=RszwKQNIyD4;full][/previewyoutube]

New game from the creators of Reigns!

[previewyoutube=hQlknqTFcko;full][/previewyoutube]

Card Shark is now available for everyone to play!

We have brought together all sorts of ruffians, scoundrels and hooligans because a great opportunity has reached our midst. In Card Shark, you'll take the least ethical path to achieve wealth, fame and status by cheating your way up the aristocracy. But that path is also a dangerous one. The risks you take can leave you in worse shape than your humble beginnings or even take your life if you are not careful.

From all of us at Nerial, we want to thank you sincerely for joining us on this journey to launch. Making a game is like manipulating a deck. Managing and fine-tuning each step to bring wonder out of what appears to be random chance. We believe we have created a unique and artful experience. To be completely honest, this isn't the type of game that typically performs very well on Steam. However, if you do enjoy our game, we hope that you'll leave a positive review! It really helps us continue to make games that reimagine real life in surprising ways. So as you start this new adventure of delectable deceit, we hope you will have fun, learn something new and cheat your opponents' pockets dry.

We have many Card Shark fans on our other platforms! Please join us there Discord - discord.gg/nerial Twitter - twitter.com/nerial TikTok - tiktok.com/@nerialgames

Our next game is launching June 2!

Our next game, Card Shark, is launching on June 2!

[previewyoutube=6ARLZYZvKm0;full][/previewyoutube] Firstly, we want to thank you for playing and supporting the Reigns series. What started as a relatively simple idea, a Game of Thrones story with Tinder gameplay, has grown into something that our team would never have imagined all those years ago. We've brought Reigns to the outer space, the board game table, and even to Westeros thanks to players like you!

Our next game, Card Shark, is our most ambitious project so far. We've put years of love and craft into this game to make it stand out. You'll uncover a thrilling historical conspiracy in 18th century France by cheating at gambling salons, aristocratic abodes, and the King's table. You'll meet some of the most influential figures of the era like Voltaire and Louis XV along with historical tricksters and scammers.

Nicolai Troshinsky created the eye-catching art style through monoprinting, an illustration technique where painted layers are added on top of each other to form a complete image. Andrea Boccadoro has brought his experience scoring for film and TV to a period-accurate score that includes original pieces and reimaginings of existing scores.

All the cheating techniques are real tricks that cheaters and magicians use in our world. The sleight of hand, deck switching, and card marking have been faithfully created. If you'd like to see if the game is for you, you can try the Demo on Steam or Nintendo Switch right now!

Pre-order Card Shark now at 15% off!

Reverting patch

It seems the previous patch was creating more problems than it solved. Reverting to a stable version. Apologies for any inconvenience.

This update should fix a problem for some people who are unable to pass the first year on PC. Be aware that it might reset your progress in the game. Apologies in advance if it does that.

Demo the new game from the creators of Reigns!

Devious deeds are afoot at the gambling tables!

Attention Nobles! Weve received word that a few of your guests may not be playing fair. The enigmatic Comte de St. Germain and his quiet apprentice have been winning generous sums across France. Whats more is that the Comte is investigating a mystery that goes as high as the King, Louis XV.

They have perfected their techniques so the cheating goes unnoticed. However, Ive heard that they can use sleight of hand, card marking, and secret signals to stack the deck in their favor. If you keep one eye on the cards and the other over your shoulder, you might have the wits to catch them in the act. There are few crimes lower than dishonesty at the table. If you catch them, I expect they'll receive severe punishment.

I imagine you'd like to learn more about their nefarious schemes. Please join us at our new Discord Server; the best place for Card Shark info. With this knowledge, I will trust these cards in your hands. Jared & the Nerial Team

Update 1.22

This update should solve the corrupt data bug. If that happened to you, try pressing "r" for 5 sec to reset the game. If it doesnt work, try to locate the local game files and delete them (generally in C:UsersAppDataLocalLow erial eigns or Users/username/library/cache/nerial/reigns on Mac ). The bug happened when the game was not closing properly, creating faulty game save and unfortunately, I can't retrieve them. Try to press "esc" and use the "quit" button to save your progress. If you still have the problem, it may be because the game can't write in the local game file (the dir described up there). This update is also an attempt at solving some of the crashes encountered at start. Still looking into some of these. Feel free to ask for refund if it doesn't work for you. And also, a great big thanks for your support and your interest in the game. We want to do more Reigns! http://nerial.co.uk/reigns/#more

Sit on the throne as a benevolent (or malevolent) medieval monarch of the modern age and swipe your royal fingers either left or right to impose your will upon the kingdom. Survive the seemingly never-ending gauntlet of requests from your advisors, peasants, allies, and enemies while maintaining balance between the influential factions of your kingdom. But beware; each decision you make might have implications and unfortunate consequences down the road that could put your reign and family’s dynasty at risk!

An Unpredictable Kingdom: Each year of your reign brings another important – seemingly random – request from your unpredictable kingdom as you strive for balance between the church, the people, the army, and the treasury. Prudent decisions and careful planning make for a long reign but unforeseen motivations, surprise events, and poor luck can take down even the most entrenched monarch.

Dynasty Expansion: Extend your reign as long as possible, forge alliances, make enemies, and find new ways to die as your dynasty marches along through the ages. Some events will span on centuries, with an intrigue involving burning witches, scientific enlightenment, wicked politics and, maybe, the Devil himself.

Royal Challenges: Achieve specific goals set before you at the start of your reign to cement your legacy and unlock new cards and content within the kingdom.

Eclectic Presentation: An inspiring score from Disasterpeace compliment elegant gameplay and a bold art direction for a sublime experience as you rule over your people.
