you are the hero (mlkrn)

hi! I am the description of you are the hero. 

tell me: have you ever wanted to be… the hero?

to get the sword, to save the princess, to slay the villain? 

without any of these modern deconstruction shenanigans, where you turn out to be an antihero at best, the princess leaves you for the villain, and the sword is revealed to be a corrupting sentient eldritch horror?

well, now you can! 

just download the game and enjoy the ride! 

there’s some mild nudity and strong language though – albeit nothing sexual – oh, and some brief mentions of anxiety and depression, as well as two really loud sound jumpscare-y moments – so if you’re sensetive to these topics, maybe you should think twice. don’t say I didn’t warn you! 

now, I absolutely cannot guarantee that the author is a good narrator, so here’s also that. I am a very honest description! maybe.

who is the author, you may ask? well, the people who made your journey for you are: 

mlkrn as a narrative and GUI designer
Parrot_Carrot and mossinasi as guest illustrators
music shamelessly borrowed from Kevin MacLeod, Alena Smirnova, arciv ev noise, Disen Gage, Kai Engel, Pianochocolate and ROZKOL.

but which one is the author? probably neither of them! but you know, you are the hero! only you get to decide whether your struggle will turn out to be of the hero versus the author, or something else entirely! 

why? 

because let me entertain you a little: after you’ll sit through what is roughly 10k words and 45 pictures, there will be three endings.

none of them are bad endings, mind you! because the hero always wins in the end. 

but there is a true ending: in order to get it, you will have to say something someone really wants you to say. because even if you are the hero, there are still rules even you must obey! 

how will you know the ending you got is the true one? don’t worry, if that would be the case, my best friend will tell you about it! 

but if you will get a different ending and be completely satisfied with it, that’s also totally fine! as I said: there are no wrong endings in this one!

and that would be all from me. 
now all that’s left is for you to hit that ‘download’ button. 

good luck, and have fun!

sincerely yours, 
the description.
