How it feels

An interactive novel where your choices shape a dramatic superhero reality show, told entirely through text without visuals or sound.

What players say

Players say the game drowns its superhero plot in preachy social commentary, punishing choices that disagree with the author's views. Unlike the earlier Heroes Rise trilogy, it tells rather than shows discrimination and ends abruptly.
