Henchman Story
The tale of a sidekick steals the spotlight, with 158 glowing mentions out of 165. Over half of players have logged more than 10 hours, and a quarter pushed past 25 hours without regret.
What it's about: 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.
