How it feels
A playful, text-based romp where you scheme as a cartoonish villain, leaning on imagination and wit rather than graphics or sound.

What players say
Players love the idea of playing a supervillain and the cartoony humor, but consistently complain that choices are railroaded and rarely lead to different outcomes, with many feeling the game is too short and full of deus ex machina.
