Superior in every way
Icarus12
It would be impossible to over-emphasize just how much this game stands out. It is superbly written, the characters all flawed and three-dimensional, and the choices you make genuinely meaningful and thought provoking (never pigeonholing you into a narrow skill tree). Most CYOA games are content with just recycling genre cliches and attempting nothing original. This is not one of those - it borrows them only to turn them on their head and make something new. Bottom line: 5/5, will play again and get the sequel. Games like this deserve recognition.
One of the best
James Mc-Peterson
If not THE best story they have out. I haven’t been this involved in a game in a long time. With superb writing that leaves me completely engaged and wanting more and more and more, I can’t wait until the sequel comes out. Can’t recommend it enough!
No real complaints

So, this is a good game. It’s also a good story. The author gives the player choices to make that, as far as I can tell, do have an impact on how everything plays out. However, they aren’t afraid to tell the story they want to tell. The characters are interesting and fun to interact with. The setting is cool but it’s not the focus. I don’t really care for romance options but all of the dialogue felt real. If you’re looking for a solid story that focuses on a six-fi hero setting, I think you’ll enjoy this one. If you care at all about time, it took me about 5-7 hours to get through it. Great way to spend a quiet afternoon.
Solid Sci-Fi Story

This story has impressed me immensely not only in it’s quality but it’s somewhat risqué experimental jabs at what mental illnesses could possibly come with the job of being a superhero. All the dialogue felt particularly real, not strained nor too cartoon-ish. The characters all present their own interesting aspects and I sincerely enjoy this! Probably one of the best Hosted game CoG has given us since the Sabres of Infinity Trilogy (Thus Far!) truly wonderful work and we hope to see this story expanded upon more!
Good writing but unsatisfying motivation

The good: You’re playing a character who is struggling emotionally. I would say that she had a mild personality disorder (inability to trust other people) which was exacerbated by PTSD. Your choices and the writing manage to force you to stay within the constraints of your mental illness, while still allowing you some leeway about how to react in particular situations. Because of the skillful writing, you can feel some of her emotions, like you would in a good novel. More generally, the author really does know how to write well. Setting the scene and dialogue/banter are novel-quality, which is not the case in many CoG/Hosted Games. The bad: A lot of information crucial to your character is revealed piecemeal throughout the story. I think some of it still hasn’t been revealed. This includes her history (events that made her the way she is), her goals, and the practical plans to accomplish them. Since your character would know all of these things, it left me feeling unable to fully absorb myself in her. I could feel her emotions like she was a whole person, but when I tried to think like her, she was a cardboard cutout.
Worth It

Definitely left me wanting more to draw from but I like the theme of the new identity being the focus and not the past. Great flow, Amazing read. All around one of the better ones out there I’ve come across over the years :) can’t wait for the next one!
One of the few Hosted Games releases that executes its story perfectly!
sertrude
The author manages to brilliantly weave a tale of delightfully customizable revenge using a dreadfully played out theme/setting, all the while making the reader completely forget about the numerous superhero vs. villain tropes that inevitably plague all the works in the genre. Refreshing, exciting, powerful!
Looking forward to book 2

The only thing I didn't like about this game is that it ended. I can't wait to read the next one.
Different than most
OmegaDemon
I loved this book. I honestly felt the motivation of the character without heavy handed narrative. I need a sequel. One of the few books to make turning evil so awesome. Playing the hero is default but turning in to the villain? Watching the fall and despair? Hauntingly enjoying to go through. Even with your secondary main character that can play as s foil to the villain main character. Very well done.
