I cried for 40 minutes straight during one long scene. I don't trust it to actually have many choices after the first one. It feels like they mostly change how your character thinks, so how you feel emotionally. The emotions guide the player and most of their choices. Just like in the first one I don't feel like any of the setups had payoffs, it will be resolved in the next two. Once again it feels like a guided story (and you only slightly choosing the flavour and spices on it), but it's an incredible one. It took me about 70% more time to finish than the first one (5.7 v 9.7 hours), both of them are definitely worth the price. There are some continuity errors and description errors, but it feels like they mostly don't matter as you can override your previous choice/shift your emotions into what you want/ed.

About This Game
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.
- Explore relationships as straight, gay, bisexual, or aromantic.
- Pick your brand of villainy: become a thief, hunt heroes, run a mob or dabble in politics.
- Delve deeper into the underworld and match wits with the kingpin of Los Diablos.
- Set up your base in the rat-infested sewers, buy a luxury lair, or anything in between.
- Deepen your previous two relationships or explore one or more of the three new ones; the young hero idolizing your past, your most dangerous opponent, or the Marshal himself.
- Juggle two bodies and three identities, play as male, female or genderqueer.
Above All: Question Everything.
