Charli [AKA Charles] Battersby is a Game Designer, Journalist, and actress.

My latest game is Cheerleader’s Choice: New York Spirit a dark comedy about cheerleaders who fight crime and solve mysteries in dystopian New York (And it’s semi-autobiographical too). You can play a free demo of it right HERE.

I also wrote a swords & sorcery comedy for Choice of Games. In it you play as a damsel in distress who is kidnapped on your birthday! Take command of an inept but well-intended group of  rescuers–a brazen knight, a snarky amazon, a cursed enchantress, and a humble peasant. Work together to escape your captors, outwitting your foes to make it back to the castle and regain your power as royal Heir. You can play Kidnapped: A Royal Birthday HERE.

In the “Back When Times” I was the screenwriter and co-creator of the animated webseries The Storyteller: Fallout at Shoddycast. It ran for four seasons and has over a million subscribers.

And I was one of the narrative designers and quest designers for Shoddycast mods including Fallout: Brotherhood (ft. Mark Meer) and The Wasteland Codex Mod for Fallout 4,  and the Storyteller Companion Mod for Fallout: New Vegas.

 

I spent many years as a playwright and stage actor. I’m known for my plays The Astonishing Adventures of All-American Girl & The Scarlet Skunk, That Cute Radioactive Couple, and sTopless Go Go Girls at the Troll Hole.

I have also written for sites including Chelsea Community News, and their sister site LGBTQ Community News. As well as Geek.com, Complex, and Joystiq. You might occasionally see me as cover model too.

I’m also an actress and a former cheerleader. I created a blog about being a Background Actress, or “Extra” in movies and TV shows. Have a look at Woman Number 2 on Substack.
