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.

Best out of the genre
     
by a person (or am i?) · May 18, 2024

This is my favorite game out of the series of choice games by buff studio. It’s incredibly charming and cohesive, i just wish there were more >.< (and i also wish i didn’t have to watch like 60 ads but the games gotta make a buck somehow!) the other games like this are also amazing, but there’s something about the idea of a more open world— main character focus that really draws me in. I totally recommend charlie’s underworld if you want something similar, but that one is a little more restrictive if i remember correctly. its been years since i played this game and my head still wanders over to it every now and again. Its genuinely a game i love.

It was so good! Ads weren’t too bad. I wish I learned more of the mystery with the ending I did so far— I understand a comment about wanting more now! Very good- a bit sad— I would’ve loved to continue even after -( I think I did Route B or something as the ending). I loved this :)

Just a MASTERPEICE

Its amazing. Great storyline, and everythingx and ppl complainging abt tickets- u can watch an ad for 40 every minute or every few minutes- which is way better than paying - plus- in y opinion its good bc it is free and only requires little ads - its not like “ad everytime i click sum” u actually have a reasonable amount of ads! Character and character personalities are amazing - you can connect with the characters so well- its aMAZING

I love the art, the coloring and style are so fun, and I really appreciate the play for free option, I’m absolutely willing to watch ads to help a good little indie story studio!

This game is great

This game is the only thing that kept me sane when I didn’t have internet for 2 and a half weeks I love all of the characters and how your choice matter

I love this game! The endings are nice except for the painful ones. I loved the story and the story telling. The characters are amazing, and I’m hoping this gets a sequel!

Tickets?

I can’t get tickets from the ads…
