bigs my eyes at the people following me here
do you want:
trans mad scientists (my most beloved of the cast)
telepathic ex-vigilante turned supervillain protagonists w/ tragic backstories in a game that lets you play as anything from a ruthless mass murderer to a pragmatic anti-villain
many trans and autism allegories as well as Fucked Up autism rep
just so fucked up
(canonically autistic mc who is scarily relatable. I don't think I've seen a more autistic character in my life. tism to the extreme. if you like murderbot. well. this speaks for itself.)
superhero + cyberpunk au los angeles setting that diverged most notably after 1980, but the history of the world diverged from ours most notably at the start of the 1900s
intentional use of 2nd person pov (tlt enjoyers, hello)
QUEER PEOPLE EVERYWHERE. so many bisexuals in the main cast alone and POLYAMORY!! trans and nonbinary mc options!
world's most unreliable narrator who loves to conveniently avoid things, sometimes cos they've memoryhole'd themselves, just don't wanna <3 or change the subject just when the conversation was on the cusp of learning something important which makes you go FUUUU
robust aspec and arospec choices and friendships that are as meaningful as the romance routes and ensemble cast dynamics (dispatch game enjoyers, this may interest you)
The Horrors™
thoughtful and nuanced contemplations on humanity, memory, personhood, identity, and morality/ethics vs legality
three physically disabled people in the main cast with different thoughts on being disabled, including more in the wider cast
the messiest situationships with past colleagues including catfishing and tormenting one of them in an entirely seperate body and getting jealous of yourself, as well dating their new teammates AND the mad scientist in a web so complicated that it rivals the greater seattle polycule
incredible replayability, esp in the sequel which has RIDICULOUS amounts of branching to the point that the author has to wrangle NINETEEN distinct endings in the second book to eventually merge together in the third book, and the ability to make MANY MANY terrible choices and live with the consequences
trans ur gender in real time w/in the story
mean shark women with a gooey centre (if you like shadowheart, you're probably gonna like mean shark woman. trust me, this is how i suckered at least one beloved friend in)
do an anarchism and terrorize politicians, get rich stealing paintings or tech, beat up heroes potentially under the guise of training them or just to prove you're better, or run your own crew and begin building up your own powerbase to supplant the city's enigmatic kingpin that may or may not exist and which had your former colleague's mentor killed
the world's best pentacle of telepathic rat sister brains
mid-combat banter and flirting
the most hysterical sentences uttered by the MC known to man such as:
kinning an imitation burger patty
calling someone a barbarian for using a Rothko to hide a safe
thinking about if they had a time machine they'd go back in time to kick their younger self's ass about getting involved with their former colleague in the past (if applicable)
"If there are scales from stupid to stupid, you’re somewhere on it for even considering it."
if you said yes to any of the above: play the fallen hero interactive fiction series. the first 20k words/first three chapters of the first game are Free to play and there's 30% off on steam until Jan 5th <3
in 2019 it consumed my life, i took a three year hiatus and then it came back 10x stronger with the release of the second book. join me.
signed, the person who set up and runs the wiki for it (yes i'm the real actual admin for the wiki. through the sheer power of tism i did like 70% of the stuff on here.)
