About the game
Being a bumbling supervillain's henchman is a thankless job. The spandex chafes, there's tons of late nights, and your boss rarely remembers your name. But in this narrative adventure you'll soon discover that - sometimes - even the choices of the lowliest henchman can change everything.

What players say
This VN is better than it has any right to be. I went into it expecting decent at best, but the writing is good, the humour is great, and the characters are really hard not to get attached to.
2 more reviews, 1 not recommended
First time really playing a VN, very good story and very fun overall, you only wish there was more to it. I plan on replaying to go through more endings, but I just finished my first ending the "bad" route. Madame Scorpion is 10/10 in every single way oh my god, I folded like a paper crane bros.
What I can say.... for sure it is not the Dispatch. I don't get this humour in game, ale a lot of choice paths are just scripted, so if you would pick just one dialouge not intended to be picked (by dev), then you will miss a lot of new scenes.
