Despre acest joc

Take to the skies! You fell to Earth as the last remnant of a dying world - can you rise as the planet’s greatest hero and triumph as a beacon of justice? Shrug off bullets, smash buildings with your bare hands, and soar through the air as you battle against diabolical supervillains!

The Last Scion is an interactive superhero novel by D. G. P. Rector. It’s entirely text-based, 200,000 words and hundreds of choices, without graphics or sound effects, and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.

You are the Scion, sole survivor of the distant planet Utopia. Scientists on your homeworld imbued you with phenomenal powers - flight, speed, intelligence, strength, and resilience beyond the reach of any ordinary human - and sent you to Earth, accompanied only by your AI companion, MENTOR. Your quest: to carry on the legacy of Utopia by embodying its ideals in your new home.

And Beacon City is in desperate need. The Torchbearers, heroic defenders of the city, are all gone: those who weren’t slain by the villainous Silent Order have gone into hiding. Only a few people remain to carry on their legacy, trying to bring justice back to Beacon City - and they want your help.

By day, do your best to blend in as an ordinary human working at the Beacon City Tribune. By night, soar the skies and fight the villains of the Silent Order: reptilian Gorgon, mischievous telepath Poppet, brilliant scientist Vector, and especially the mysterious leader, Conqueror.

Will you fulfill your homeworld’s dream of carrying Utopia’s ideals to the new planet? Or will you turn to villainy, and possibly achieve greater power than anyone on Utopia could ever conceive?
