Heroes of Tomorrow: Hidden Potential

At our superhero academy, you’ll lead a team of teen heroes to battle supervillains! Will you fulfill your heroic legacy or forge your own path?

Heroes of Tomorrow: Hidden Potential is an interactive superpower novel by Eloy Lasanta, where your choices control the story. It’s entirely text-based, 600,000 words and hundreds of choices, without graphics or sound effects, and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.

Welcome to Evos Academy! As a member of the next generation of superheroes in a world where comic books record the deeds of real-life heroes, you don’t pass your classes by writing the correct answers on a paper; you do it by defeating a swarm of super-science automatons in front of a stadium full of cheering fans.

Develop your powers, practice working as a team with your classmates, and develop your own distinctive style while you learn from the greatest heroes that Earth has ever seen: valiant Gladiator, super-gadgeteer Gearhead…

…and, oh yeah, your mom. 

Hardly anyone knows that you grew up as the sidekick to your mother, the famed hero known as The Cloak, keeping your gritty metropolis safe from the world’s worst villains. Some of your classmates are grappling with a legacy of power, too: Paragon’s father is the mighty hero Brilliant, and Red Claw’s mother is the villain Destroya. Each of you must choose what kind of hero you want to be. Do you want to be like your heroic parents, or do you want to blaze your own trail? 

The choices just keep getting harder when it becomes clear that there’s more than your average supervillainy going on. Who keeps breaking into Evos Academy’s supposedly ultra-secure campus, and why? Why are your powers acting so strangely? What is the voice that whispers to you in your dreams? Why are all the villains’ plots suddenly focused on you? And what will you do when you discover that some of your idols aren’t so heroic after all?
