The Game

"My name is Selena, and I have been chosen to be the future ruler of the world." She might look like an ordinary schoolgirl, but a secret organisation called The Agency are going to overthrow the world and institute her as ruler of the new world order!

When I Rule The World is a visual novel: gameplay consists of reading the text displayed, and choosing from options at certain key points. The direction of the plot and how the game ends are thus under the player's control.
