Fallen Hero: Retribution

Fallen Hero: Retribution is a 1.45-million-word, text-based interactive superhero novel with no graphics or sound effects. You play a telepathic villain whose choices shape the story and a criminal career as a thief, mob boss, hero hunter or anarchist. You can regret your actions or commit further crimes, while your former hero friends in the Rangers try to stop your rampage. They see you as on the wrong side of the law regardless of your crimes or motives. Your telepathic powers help you stay ahead of them, but getting too close or revealing your secrets puts that advantage at risk.

Choose your path

You can explore the underworld, match wits with the kingpin of Los Diablos, hunt heroes, run a mob or dabble in politics. Your base can be anywhere from rat-infested sewers to a luxury lair.

Shape your identity

Play as male, female or genderqueer, and juggle two bodies and three identities. You can explore relationships as straight, gay, bisexual or aromantic. Deepen your previous two relationships or explore one or more of three new ones: a young hero who idolizes your past, your most dangerous opponent, or the Marshal himself.
