Hey, congrats on the release!
Superman fans be eating good this year. Absolute Superman in the comics, New Superman movie and now this. Only thing left is a good video game adaptation.
Hesitate to report this as an error, but if you go to the gala with as your civilian identity with the reporter (platonic) and then speaker to the detective, if you stick to keeping up the ruse that you are a civilian during the attack and go and help out the detective, then in the aftermath the detective asks for the PC’s civilian identity’s name again when they’ve already been introduced in the first convo. Granted this could just be the detective forgetting the PC’s name since they’ve only spoken once, but it really read to me as the game thinking you’d spoken to someone other than the detective else earlier and are only now meeting with the detective as a civilian.
In other news was not expecting to like the detective as much as I did, them cooking to civilian!PC about Supe!PC was excellent lol
Pushing out a patch to fix the ending bug.
@dgprector I felt like the ending where you die fighting the Conquerer was a little bit short. I really liked the long-term effect as shown, but I was hoping for a little bit more about the immediate aftermath.
Edit: Actually, now that I’ve read some of the other epilogues, they’re all equally pretty short. Nevermind then lol.
Regardless, this game was very fun to play. Nice work.
Same. Any help is appreciated

Hey! Spoilers below, be warned.
Poppet’s one of the trickier romances to trigger, and deliberately so. She has positive/negative relationship based on some of your interactions before she’s captured. You get an opportunity to confess your feelings for her if you take her back to the Cooler in Ch.6. Getting a “happily ever after” with her is also one of the trickier things to manage. I won’t spoil that, but I’ll say you should keep her backstory and psychology in mind when making decisions around her. And don’t forget that, well, she is on the baddies side. Some of the things she wants might not sit well with every player character.
This was fun. Solid story, superheroes are always going to do well in the interactive fiction medium, rattled through it in a day and didn’t regret doing so. Just a couple of bits of feedback:
I romanced Jacky and went for they/them pronouns, which led to some janky grammar - a couple of instances of ‘they is’ showing up in the story rather than ‘they are’. Also, because I went hard on the romance and hung out with Jacky every chance I got, I ended up telling them my self-assigned ‘real name’ twice, with them acting surprised the second time despite already having heard it once before.
Other than that, fun stuff! I look forward to seeing if this writer does more in future.
