v1.4.2. Changes (357,000 words)

New options during fights for those having telekinesis powers. You can now throw objects, or sometimes deliver a finishing blow.
Note that the damage from telekinesis attacks is (psyche /2), and that your chances of hitting depend on your opponents agility.
You own chances of hitting are determined by ((psyche + marksmanship)/2)
Added the power to generate and throw webs at your opponents! (with animal powers)
Fixed bug that only allowed for one cheat code to be used.
Slightly increased the "cost" of various speed related powers.
Tweaked the code of how much damaged super-speed attacks do (was OP before).
Regeneration speed will be recalculated at regular intervals in the game, in case the endurance changes during the game.
Wearing long gloves now has same effect as wearing short gloves when touching meteorite stone at bank.
Various preparations related to the implementation of the first DLC.
Many bugfixes throughout.

Become the greatest hero or villain that the world has ever known! Balance the challenges of leading a normal life, while attempting to defeat evil... or wreak havoc on the world.

Hero or Villain: Genesis is a 330,000 word interactive novel by Adrao, where your choices control the story. The game is text-based, and while it has some artwork in it, your choices control entirely the outcome of the game. Will you hunt down villains to the last corner of the planet, join a group of fellow heroes (or villains!), defeat New York's criminal mastermind, or even replace him?

Choose from dozens of powers. You can pounce your enemies with the power of your fists, strike them down with hellfire, take control of their minds, dodge their attacks with your super-speed, or rewind time to learn from your mistakes.
Build your own gadgets, improving the quality of your armour or the weapons mounted on it.
Make alliances with other heroes, and attempt to find a side-kick that works with you.
Play as male, female, or non-binary, and romance many of the other characters!
Several illustrations to enhance your experience.
Variety of different game paths, with over two dozen different endings.
Several different difficulty settings. Play as a mighty invincible hero, or just somebody only slightly more powerful than an average human.
