What Makes a Hero?
Description
In What Makes a Hero, you play as a fledgling Narrator deity, training to earn the full power of a Narrator. As your final trial, you must control a fantasy world and tell the story of a protagonist going on a typical hero's journey. The only problem? You can't actually control the protagonist. To prove your worth as a Narrator, manipulate the world and guide your hero as they grow up and attempt a prophesied quest.
Features
- A Third, Omniscient Parent: Raise up the hero of your story from birth by influencing everything around them
- Statistics and Grading: Perform well for your final trial and keep the protagonist's skills and health in check
- Morphing Story: As you make choices, the world and narrative change to reflect them
- More...?: Still a demo, who knows what the future could bring...
