Description

Sick and tired of your usual typical superhero plots full of clichés? Wonder what it's like to live as an everyday citizen in a superhero universe? Play 'Not Exactly A Hero: Visual Novel, Story-driven Adventure Game' and find out!

🤖"Not Exactly A Hero"
Riley, the game's player character, is a substitute agent with the purpose of supporting a superhero's everyday activities. But essentially, Riley is an everyday citizen. Yes - just like you and me.

🤝"Relationship matters"
In the game, you will go through numerous encounters with all kinds of characters in between cases:
Your boss, Chief, who's constantly under stress from low budget issues;
Your team's new recruit, Chris, who tries to scratch your ego all the time;
An 'Oobur' driver with a knack for stirring up other people's minds;
A kebab truck guy with a weird and wonky personality...
You may befriend some of them. Some might turn their backs on you. It's all up to you and the choices you make.

💬"Every playthrough is like playing a new game"
As the plot unravels, there will be a LOT of decisions you have to make.
Each and every one of those choices will build up as you proceed, and will ultimately decide the final outcome.
This game is packed with 3 starting points, 4 side character routes, 9 different endings and a bonus route for completionists.
You are the protagonist. Everything is up to your choice.

v1.1.3

I don't always leave reviews, but I feel like this game deserves one. So, here are my honest thoughts: - To others thinking about downloading the game: I really recommend it, even though I haven't gotten far yet! The artstyle is cute, the story is engaging, and ads aren't forced on you too often. I can tell that a lot of heart was put into it. - To the developers: Please don't stop making games like this. I'm bad at motivating, but uh, it's a really good game! I love your visual novels :)

great game overall. although the story isn't that complex, I still really liked it. and I loved exploring all the different endings and achievements in the game. for the first time in a visual novel I felt like my choices made an impact on the story unlike some of the others I've played.
