SAN FRANCISCO--April 8, 2016: Choice of Games announced today that "The Hero Project: Redemption Season," the latest in their popular line of multiple-choice interactive-fiction games, is now available on Steam, iOS, and Android. It's 25% off until April 15th.
America's #1 reality show for heroes is back for another season! Harness your superpowers to steal the spotlight, win votes, and save your sister!
"The Hero Project: Redemption Season" is the first installment in a new series of interactive novels by Zachary Sergi set in the "Heroes Rise" universe. Your choices control the story. It's entirely text-based--129,000 words, without graphics or sound effects--and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.
In a contest where everyone has superpowers, your opponents can cause earthquakes and explosions, but you're an average Ani-Powered who wakes up with different animal attributes every day. Will your hawk eyes or canine claws take you far enough in the competition to satisfy the only person who can help your sister? And what happens if winning isn't enough?
For example, when you're up against the InfraCircle--a group of disadvantaged Ani-Powered criminals--where do you stand?
A) I feel like I'm on the wrong side of this battle. Honestly, I agree with what I've heard of the InfraCircle's agenda and methods, so far.
B) I believe that no cause justifies criminal activity. Plus, I've seen the negative effects of the reformed Ani-gangs in Dockerbay firsthand.
C) I don't want to be seen fighting other Ani-Powereds, it just further feeds into divisive Ani-stereotypes. Plus, I'm intrigued by the InfraCircle's ideas, if not their criminal methods.
D) I'm happy to be shutting down Ani-cells that give the rest of us Ani-Powereds a bad name. I want to be a symbol that strikes fear into the heart of Ani-idiots like these.
As you advance, the decisions you make will transform viewers' ideas of what it means to be a hero. Will you fight for your own goals, or make sacrifices for the good of society? Strive for what you believe is right by following the rules, or take down the whole system with more radical methods? Would you take wealth and fame over changing the world?
Choose wisely. It's Redemption Season.
