About this game
Earth. Modern day. Superpowers exist only in myth, stories, and movies. One night, a freak storm breaks over the City of Ryker and changes everything. Superpowers now rise in the shadows for both the valiant and the wicked. All heroes have an origin story–shape yours as a conspiracy threatens the city. Dawn of Heroes is a 450k-word interactive novel by C. Claymore. It's entirely text-based, without graphics or sound effects, and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination. Play as male, female, or nonbinary; gay, straight, bi, or asexual. Romance a street-level vigilante, an insecure mage, a master thief, a co-worker, or several others. Choose your character's hero costume. Decide your character's powers – then customize the powers' advantages and limitations. Choose your character's career outside of their hero work. Join a team of heroes ranging from non-powered to a god. Discover a threat that endangers everything your character knows. Will you rise from the ashes of Ryker or prevent the fire from burning it down?
