Not even responding in conversation, just internal feelings. This makes the choices seem like they have no weight. Plot is too convoluted and boring. The constant nonsense woke buzzwords don’t help either. ### 5/5 — I love it *2019-06-19, version 1.0.4* I know I’m really late on reviewing this game, but I just recently had the money to buy the entire series of hero rise. And I loved it. The story was well made and the characters were lovable. ### 5/5 — Fantastic!!!!! *2018-06-10, version 1.0.4* One of the best interactive novels ever released. Definitely worth a read. ### 5/5 — Want a Versus 3!!!! *2018-05-14, version 1.0.3* So sad that this is the last book, it’s such an epic serious and I really really hope that there’ll be a Versus 3. ❤️ ### 5/5 — I NEED IT NOW *2018-05-04, version 1.0.3* I have read this series from the very beginning and the versus too I’m not gonna spoil anything but WE NEED A VERSUS THREE AND WE NEED IT NOW NOT LATER NOW I was wondering why there wasn’t a third versus but now I know and all I’m saying is I need it NOW please please make another one I’m praying to god almighty that you make another one please I beg you make another one ### 5/5 — Amazing *2018-04-30, version 1.0.3* I will always want more from this series. Epic twists. Amazing characters you fall in love with. I’m never getting my life back from this author and I’m 100% ok with it. ### 4/5 — It’s an amazing story... *2018-04-22, version 1.0.3* A really well thought out story, but the amount of typos in this is far too much for the money you pay for the game. If those were fixed I would give it five stars ### 5/5 — Loved the Whole Series *2018-04-19, version 1.0.3* Not much else to say except that I enjoyed the whole journey ### 5/5 — Incredible finale *2018-04-13, version 1.0.3* Amazing series. Sad to see it end, but it was a satisfying end ### 5/5 — Brilliant end to an incredible series *2018-04-13, version 1.0.3* Still finding it hard to digest this is the last of the Heroes Rise series, incredible series of books with brilliant plot and character development. An absolutely incredible body of work as a whole ## Frequently asked questions about The Hero Project ### What is The Hero Project: Open Season?
