Choice of Games today announced that "Heroes Rise: The Prodigy," the latest in their popular line of multiple-choice interactive-fiction games, is now available for now available for Kindle, iOS, and Android. This is also our first game available for download on Windows, OS X, and Linux via the Chrome Web Store.

In "Heroes Rise," Powered heroes have become the ultimate celebrities, and you dream of joining the A-List, but to get there, you'll first have to take down evil Powered gangs, compete with deadly rivals, choose a worthy sidekick, team up with famous champions, and prove to all of Millennia City that you’re a true hero.

"The game is completely text-based," said Zachary Sergi, author of "Heroes Rise." "There's no graphics, no music; nothing but 100,000 words and your imagination."

At each step, "Heroes Rise" offers a multiple-choice question, putting you in control of the interactive story.

For example, when surrounded by dozens of criminals who are battling for control of the "Gravitas" artifact, which would you choose?

  • Jump in right away and stop the killing. It doesn't matter who gets the Gravitas--saving lives is more important than anything.[/*]
  • Your only concern here is the Gravitas. Make a grab for it and go![/*]
  • Wait for them all to kill each other off, then take the Gravitas by surprise from whoever is left standing.[/*]
  • Stay put and wait for the police to arrive–this is way too much for you and you know it.[/*]
Will you play as male or female? Gay or straight? Crusade for justice, or gun for money?

How high will you rise?
