Heroes Rise: The Hero Project Demo

Heroes Rise: The Hero Project is an interactive novel from Zachary Sergi and developed by Choice of Games.

Who could have believed just a few years ago that interactive novels are going to a thing someday? Some of you might think that we should leave the act of reading the books, but that’s not really necessary. After all, many games are actually just stories that allow players to participate, even if it’s done in a more complex manner. With that in mind, the notion of interactive novels doesn’t sound all that far fetched.

Unlike regular games that present a story and the player is just along the ride, trying not to die, interactive novels let users choose the path, which makes it all that more interesting. Imagine reading a book and depending on the choices of the character it’s always different. On the other hand, reading books on a monitor is not always the best possible experience.

Just like me, any gamer is probably going to be skeptical about this kind of games. After all, the game will be only as good as the writing. For Heroes Rise: The Hero Project is not all that bad, but it could a lot better.

Heroes Rise: The Hero Project is a the sequel to Heroes Rise: The Prodigy, but you can read the second one without having to read the first. It’s written by Zachary Sergi and players get to make a ton of choices when reading.

You take on the role of a contestant on the reality TV show with other people that have some special powers. You have to win the contest and impress the judges, but there is also a lot of drama happening between the contestants.

It’s not a log game, but the fact that you can make choices increases the value of the game. Also, please keep in mind that this is an interactive book, which means that you’re not doing this for the graphics. The book itself won’t win any prizes, but it’s a good enough vehicle for the story and the action.
