About This Game

Use your speedster powers to defeat the superpowered Sloth and save the day, all while tracking down a deadly new weapon threatening your city! There’s no room for error in the hero business, not even for the fastest person in the world. One tiny mistake against your deadliest foe threatens to end your career and plunge your city in chaos.

Zip! Speedster of Valiant City is a 48,000-word superpowered interactive novel by Eric Moser. It’s entirely text-based, without graphics or sound effects, and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.

As a superpowered hero, you’ve beaten the Sloth before, but this time he’s finally gotten the upper hand (claw?) and he’s aiming his deadly new device right at the innocent citizens of Valiant City. It’s up to you to stop him and his terrible machine before time runs out!

Play as male, female, or non-binary; gay, straight, or bi.
Use your speed powers to battle an array of superpowered foes.
When facing especially tough decisions, use your limited supply of Juice to run even faster.
Focus on your struggling relationship with your romantic partner or flirt with a new hero.
Train your snarky sidekick to prepare for battle with the Sloth, or leave her to make her own mistakes.
Unleash your powers to run for mayor, land a lucrative endorsement deal, or run your enemies out of town.
Destroy the Sloth’s machine, learn how to disarm it, or even convince to Sloth to give up his criminal scheme.

Are you fast enough to thwart the Sloth’s scheme and save the day?

It's hard not to refer to this game as anything but a disappointment. The core concept of an ageing hero with something of a complicated homelife is interesting, but even if it didn't clash a bit with the game's uneven tone (which wobbles between comedy and seriousness without ever picking one), it's just not given enough time to develop. It's not serious enough to cause a genuine emotional connection with either your spouse, your rival/potential other love interest or your sidekick, and the game is finishing by the time you're in a position to decide where you want to take any of those relationships, and with frankly very little payoff. Ultimately, 48000 words just isn't enough to justify the price tag this is advertised for, and as much as there is technically some options for replayability, you'll quickly be clicking through the entire thing in less than ten minutes to pick up achievements, and the only way I can conceivably see something like this getting past the hour mark is ...
