Retribution is submitted and will be released 2/2 2023!

I got enough questions about this that I realized I might as well make a proper post about it.

First, some facts. I am working a full time (40h week) day job, so this is done in my spare time. I have also had health issues and other real life problems last year and a half which has slowed the pace some (not to mention general 2020 shenanigans). Unfortunately the plant I'm working in is cl...

QnA for April

Does Los Diablos have a zoo, and if so what do different animals like lions,bears, monkeys etc "feel" like to sidestep?

Los Diablos does indeed have a Zoo. It's not as impressive as the aquarium, but it gets expanded a little more each season. It's been a bit of a bragging project for the Mayor, one of her many ways of showing that Los Diablos is more than just a capitali...

QnA for April (spoiler version)

The spoiler-filled version of the questions asked.


Does the MC apply different moral standards from humans and Re-Gene's? Kind of like how even a mass murderer MC would never harm a dog, we can see a clear moral distinction between human and dog. I would imagine the MC would feel an even greater moral distinction between their own kind and the humans that oppre...

March Retribution link! (new build)

So, a week late but here it is, the new build of Fallen Hero: Retribution. This time around it is bugfixes and suggestions. I've worked through a massive load of the suggestions folder, so there's a lot of small content bits everywhere. Going to work through the rest  during March I hope, and then go for grammar and spelling.

February Spoilers QnA


In every Mortum's ending in which the Puppet is involved in the accident and MC is in their own body, Dr. Mortum will think that MC lied to them and will take sides with the Puppet?

That is Mortum's initial reaction, yes.

In some endings, depending on which body we stuck at the end, the other body will gain consciousness. How important will they b...

February QnA

You mentioned that Ortega was relieved that everyone could see Sidestep when they brought them back to the HQ. Does that mean that it's happened before where Ortega saw Sidestep while they weren't there, and if yes does anyone know about it?

Oh yes. It happened more than once, passing someone on the street, doing a double-take, and running after them. Or being drunk in a ...

Valentine's Day Snippets

Dr. Mortum. Yasmin.

"I can't believe this." Yasmin's laugh is a pearly river, and Dr. Mortum can't help but turn and stare. She's beautiful in all the ways that don't belong here, a rose in a beaker able to survive the acid. "You're going to spend Valentine's Day locked in your lab eating reheated pizza?"

"Yes?" he answers, acutely aware of his stained lab coat whil...

January Spoiler QnA

If Sidestep got captured by Hollow Ground, why didn't HG use their powers on Sidestep before letting Nocturne give Sidestep their sight back? Was HG just that sure their powers would work?

Yes, HG was that sure. Also, using their power takes effort and is not something done lightly. If Sidestep was deemed useless, there was no reason to expend that energy on someone soon ...

January QnA (updated)

Updated the QnA since I missed a bunch of questions the first time, they are at the end!

If romanced, how lasting were the effects of Sidestep's 'death' on Ortega's dating life? For instance, during the apartment scene, Ortega admits that they were in love with Sidestep in the past. Also, during the past, Ortega appears to have been quite promiscuous. Post heartbreak, say...

Cursed Facts

Had some fun in the Discord on New Year's Eve, and here are some cursed facts I shared:


Ortega would wear white to someone's wedding if they didn't like the bride.

There was a long-running betting pool in the Ranger's staff about who Ortega would date next until they found out and started gaming the system with the help of spies.

Argent regularly steals people's foo...

December Spoiler QnA

In the Ortega apartment scene, step mentions seeing a newspaper with a headline that effected them a lot. What was that headline?

If you are talking about the newspaper they spotted back at the farm, the headline was something like "Former Marshal living it up on the town with their new girl/boyfriend." It had pictures of Ortega making out with a pretty man/woman and the ...

December QnA

How do the Rangers + Mortum go about their holiday shopping?

Mortum is the most prepared one, it's been a year long project, probably mostly done before December begins.

Argent has surprisingly personal gifts, but how she figures it out, nobody knows. Gets them all in one, well-planned spree.

Ortega is not above abusing the contacts of their personal shopper. ...

New Year's Eve, 2016

Funny how the skies look. Dark. Overcast. Spattered with fire.

Good fire. Fireworks. Celebrations.

Your laugh hurts, but your ribs are better. Can take full breaths now without choking down a cry. Never thought you'd miss the pain-gate, but here you are. No longer numb.

Pain is a bit like fireworks. Loud and bright, commanding attention, leaving no room for anything else. And ...

QnA reminder!

The lore poll has narrowly decided that you will get to learn more about Dr. Mortum, so look forward to that in a day or so. Also, I have a bunch of questions from discord and dms, but please feel free to add any questions you want answered to this post!

Hope the holidays have treated you nicely, it's a stressful time.

Mini update!

God Jul and happy holidays everybody!

While I have not finished updating Chapter 22 yet, I have made many bugfixes and small updates to the game, as well as adding the first steps of the more aspec/demi sides of the romances. Haven't adjusted the puppet romance scenes yet, but I will get around to it later. 2020-12-24 15:51:51 +0000 UTC View Post
