About the Game

The Shipper's Gambit: A Puzzle-Comedy FMV Game

Stage the ultimate game of love in The Shipper's Gambit, a Puzzle-Comedy FMV game that casts you as the master "Planner" behind the romance. Pull the strings of destiny, orchestrate scenarios, and manipulate events to make your dream pairing a reality. The stage is yours... Shipper!

Inspired by the global sensation of Thai BL (Boys' Love) series, The Shipper's Gambit invites you to become the architect of affection. Forget about being the main character—this is your platform to prove your genius for planning from behind the scenes!

A game measured by wit, heart, and a whole lot of comedy.
