Our take on The Hero Project: Redemption Season
The bounce point arrives immediately for anyone expecting a conventional superhero game: the experience is 129,000 words with no graphics or sound effects. Another wall appears for readers who want a fixed moral route, since decisions determine whether the protagonist pursues personal goals, social sacrifice, fame, or systemic opposition.
