Our take on Unsupervised
Its text-only format leaves visual spectacle and sound aside, placing the burden of imagining powers, locations, and confrontations on the reader. The large word count also favors sustained reading over short, self-contained sessions.
What is Unsupervised?
Unsupervised is a 660,000-word, choice-driven novel about teenage superhero sidekicks whose mentors vanish while investigating a strange phenomenon beyond Earth.
Players shape the plot by selecting abilities, directing a group, visiting different places, finding allies, responding to public reactions, and facing enemies. The story covers romance, government oversight, hidden plots, and moral choices ranging from heroism to villainy. Players can name and arrange a concealed Himalayan headquarters, create a group identity, modify teammates’ capabilities, and choose how to respond to officials who regulate powered people. Abilities include rapid movement, great physical force, enhanced perception, control over natural elements, and command of time. The game is presented entirely through written text, with no visual artwork or audio effects.
