Description

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? 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. • Play as male, female, trans, or nonbinary; gay, straight, or bi. • Begin a new story in Millennia City, influenced by your actions in the "Heroes Rise" trilogy. • Play as a new hero, in a new season of The Hero Project!

  • Too preachy and heavy handed

    I appreciate the efforts the author is going to be inclusive but there isn't an ounce of subtlety in this story. There are about 5-6 different points in the game where your character monologues about underrepresented people and has to make a decision about what you plan to do about them. They're literally the same questions and answers slightly reworded with no effect on the story. Of all the Hero Project games I felt like I had the least control over the outcome in this one.

  • a delightful read

    The writing of this game is fantastic, and the world you play in seamlessly flows from the world of Heroes Rise- sometime shifting focus of story/characters can make you feel like it’s a different setting, even if it all takes place in the same city. I especially enjoyed all the different powers and characters shown in the story. I also very much like the story itself, with the reality TV show, the PC’s strange powers, and the shocking twist in the story revealing the Big Bad. However, the entire story is utterly riddled with social commentary and seemingly non-stop condemnation of racism, sexism, and bigotry. These things are important issues, but it feels like we’re beaten over the head with them at times. One of the characters, a straight white male (from the South no less! Horror of horrors!) is called out by a trans character for being, surprise surprise, a bigoted, privileged, white male. The man was already written as sort of a jerk character, at that point you’re just trying to write him as a villain. That’s just ONE example If you overlook those issues- and they’re hard to ignore because it feels like they’re literally everywhere in the story- it’s a very fun game to play through, and I love my character and her relationship with her sister, JK. I hope the next game isn’t so heavy-handed with the Social Justice though.

  • Falls far short of previous efforts...pass

    The reality show was probably the high water mark of this author's other series, but this one just appears to be long on wind and short on action. Question: what sort of RPG has you describe your character's powers long before basic facts like your character's gender or orientation? Presumably this is some sort of message from the author, but I came here for a fun adventure, not to read the pretentious opinions of some windbag. Give this one a pass. If you want to see a Choice of Games app that handles political messages well, try Choice of Robots or the Hosted Game Choice by Gaslight, which have amazing writing and interesting choices.

  • Amazing Series

    I have always loved these interactive books and I can’t wait for the next one 😁 This one kind of ends abruptly.

    This was like having to relive finding out what it means to be bisexual, and I loved every second of it 👌👍.

  • This lives up to the series

    I don't buy a Superhero book for Social Justice Warrior moralizing. I enjoyed the first three books because it wasn't the predominant feature, though it was all over it, but this was too much to read; both the subtle and the overt social moralizing made it just boring. I couldn't finish. Let's just overlook the hypocrisy of an SJW writing about equality and not being arbitrarily put into boxes while requiring you to adhere to rigid stereotypical tropes. Maybe I'm calculating but honorable, or a loyal ally but I make my own decisions and won't do anything mindlessly just to keep a trope up so that my legend level doesn't drop. Maybe I let Sparrow or Tarana Rain die over Sonja Challa not because I am a fame seeking sociopath, but because I see the role of a hero to be protecting civilians even at the cost of our lives because we signed up for the job. Final complaint, why is my straight male character who has identified as straight and male, constantly checking out other dudes and having awkward moments of attraction to the same gender? Sexuality isn't as fluid as they teach you at SJW school, try respecting a declared orientation. I would not buy this again.

  • Pretty good

    These games have had consistently awesome games and have not let us down by continuing its streak with The redemption season with great writing and compelling stories. I also love how you don't need to play each game in order to enjoy it. I read this one first and still absolutely loved it and when I realized this was a series I was ecstatic. While I think that some of the characters could use a bit more fleshing out and some more dimensions it is a great game and I am am excited to see its future!

  • Utterly Astounding
