SuperPowered GAME
I wasn’t expecting SuperPowered to hook me with its premise about buying superpowers like grocery shopping, but here we are three hours later and I’m still figuring out Billy’s next move. The whole setup feels refreshingly different from your typical superhero power fantasy – instead of getting bitten by a radioactive spider, you’re dealing with tight budgets and compatibility tests.
Building Your Personal Superhero Empire
SuperPowered is a RPG game made with Ren'py. In the game, you play as Billy, a young man still living with his mom. At the very beginning of the game, Maggie (his mother) buys Billy his first superpower. Because money is tight, he doesn't have much of a choice, she's getting him X-ray vision. Before the process begin, the nurse who's gonna give him the shot has to test him to see if he's compatible. As it turns out, he is but there's something else. Unlike most people, who can only receive a very limited number of those shots, Billy seems to have the uncanny ability to absorb an unlimited amount of them. Thanks to this, he could become the most powerful of them all but in order to achieve this level of power, he must be careful. In a world where almost everyone can buy powers, anyone could be a potential threat.
