About this game
So you're a villain now? Let's see if you survive the experience.
Fallen Hero: Retribution is a 1.45-million word interactive superhero novel by Malin Rydén, where your choices guide the story. It's entirely text-based—without graphics or sound effects—and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.
Be the telepathic villain you always wanted to be and embark on a career as a thief, mob boss, hero hunter, or anarchist in your own bespoke base. Will you start to regret your actions, or double down and commit more heinous crimes? No matter your choice, your old hero friends in the Rangers will be out to stop your criminal rampage. To them, the fact that you are on the wrong side of the law is more important than the crimes you commit, no matter your motivation. Luckily you can remain one step ahead of them thanks to your telepathic powers, but it would be best to not push your luck and get too close. Or reveal your secrets.
Above All: Question Everything.
