It got me hooked on text based adventure games.I haven't seen the sun in ten years.. If you know the other Choice games, well, you won't be surprised. This one is a lot more lighthearted than some of the other ones I played, even if you go relatively evil and kill a lot. There are some surprising twists, but the whole game has a little bit too much "deus ex machinas" for my taste.But anyway, if you want to be the villain in a cartoony way, this is definitely your game. Not regretted it.. A very enjoyable and witty short story that made me chuckle everytime I was given the opportunity to either be a traditional super evil villian or to\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665around and use a giant deathray lasor only to project a movie onto the moon with it. The author definitely made sure to make you feel like you're really a super villian by adding unexpectedly "evil" lines that will make you laugh, cheesy or not i still loved it.. Disclaimer: I played this through with steam "offline" on a road trip, so my "time played" appears lower than it is. Frustrating, I thought it would save the achievements at least...Don't get me wrong, I love Choice of Games. But more importantly, I ADORE villainy. Anything where you can be a villain is an automatic buy for me; I am a total sucker for the gimmick. That being said...This game is well-written and quite endearing, and it's certainly very funny. In that sense, I almost feel like it's not taking your character seriously. (That's not necessarily bad, by any means.) The story is short in comparison to many of their other works, and it just doesn't have the same replayability value. Maybe I was pursuing the wrong routes, but I felt like they were all much the same.Disappointing, but at least I got to be a villain. I'm still a sucker for the gimmick.. I can't recommend this game, because of the lack of player agency especially in action scenes. Outside of action scenes the players choices have only superficial effects in the story. The player can choose what their villian looks like, what their villain drives and choose from three interchangable sidekicks, but any time a meaningful selection of choices is presented they end up like this:Choice A: The writers preferred choiceChoice B: Different way of going about the same thing as Choice A.Choice C: A legitimatly different option from Choice A that will autofail if chosen.But far far worse than this is the action scenes. Every action scene is the same sequence of choices:Sequence 1Choice A: ActionChoice B: different actionChoice C: JokeNo matter what choice you chose in Sequence 1 the game says "Psych you were hit\/fell down\/etc. while trying to decide".No matter what you choose in sequence 2 you will partially succeed, leading to sequence 3 where no matter what you choose you will succeed.I can't reccomend a game where even the choices in action scenes do not matter.. Wasnt good as I expected. There werent much options to choose. All ended up in the same way. I am dissapointed. Good luck to you in your next game.. The problem with this story is that it runs like a typical game with bland plot points. While the choices seem interesting at first, you'll come to realize that the game has a fairly set path with barely noticable diviations. I would not recommend this choose-your-own-adventure novel over "Choice of Robots" and the like. As much as I love "choose your own adventure" games, I wouldn't recommend this one. Why? Because while you'd think your choices would matter like in other similar games, they really don't. Most choices you face lead to the same exact results and I don't mean it as in the long run. Let's say you have the choice between killing or not killing someone. First run through you'll go with one choice and next one pick the opposite choices figuring the story would be entirely different but no. If you choose to spare the person the game will let you but most of the time when you choose to kill the person, you'll either fail or be interrupted, effectively making the game painfully linear.You can't choose your own adventure, it's already been chosen for you.
