Synopsis
Welcome to the world of comic fantasy, superheroes and supervillains. You are superhuman Redhawk and must control his two completely separate identities: Kevin Oliver - a human with all the human weaknesses; and Redhawk - a being capable of flight and incredible feats of strength.
You can choose to fight crime, pitting Redhawk against common criminals and even supervillains. This choice leads to popularity and superhero status. Alternatively, you can lead a life of crime and ignore Redhawk's unpopularity and supervillain status. The choice is yours. Whatever you decide, you must make your decisions quickly as time waits for no man (superhuman or not). While you consider your actions, the other characters in the game will continue with their own.

Flawed, but very original and fun. The format is ad hoc, resembling a comic strip, but has a legit parser. The game is a tongue-in-cheek superhero genre pastiche with enough humour mixed it to make it amusing, although not compelling. The time and personal meters elements are a nuisance and make the game difficult to sequence correctly: it is an optimisation game in disguise, although this was probably not the intention. Has an annoying bug with timers, though it can be worked around. Worth a go because of the novelty.
