![]() ![]() Stan isn’t fanatical about Lord Bedlam and his cause he’s mainly there for the benefits, and doesn’t know much about the organization’s goals. ![]() You can kind of get an idea of whether what you said made someone happy or annoyed based on the change in their facial expression, but I would have liked to see where I currently stand with the characters like you can in some otome games. I couldn’t find any menu that showed how your dialogue decisions impacted your relationship with that person. How you respond to people will change their opinion of you. Lord Bedlam has some concerns on the level of enthusiasm, and requests that Dave please tone it down.) Dave seems like an odd choice for a henchman considering his positive personality, but I suppose there aren’t too many people whose ambition is to work for supervillains, so he’ll do.Īs this is a visual novel, you’ve got decisions to make for your choice of dialogue. (Stan suspects that Dave may have a Lord Bedlam tattoo somewhere. Stan has Dave, a very peppy Lord Bedlam fan, as his direct supervisor. (With the occasional mission here and there.) Stan seems like a pretty snarky guy, and I really appreciate how Marc Soskin voices that dialogue. Our character Stan, however, gets the above-mentioned perks for frequently guarding a rarely used door. The benefits seem pretty nice, although considering that there are assemblies with announcements of forced henchpeople retirement due to injury, the job may not be great long term… He’s polite, pays his two hundred henchpeople, and provides them with food, okay enough healthcare, and housing (private rooms, as he apparently did research on employee morale). Lord Bedlam, despite his status as a “villain,” seems to be a better boss than most. (On second thought, stealing items used for doggies and kitties is rather evil…) (Un)fortunately, your boss Lord Bedlam seems to have missed the memo on how to be a proper villain, as your loot consists of mere pet supplies. You play as Stan, a henchman, so that makes sense. Right as you start, the game drops you in the middle of a heist. Some of their previous roles feature their voice acting in titles such as RWBY, Fire Emblem, Dragon Ball Z Abridged, and more! You’re able to make friends, enemies, and even develop a romantic relationship with some of the heroes, villains, and other “henchpeople”! The characters are further brought to life with full voice acting!Ī look at the IMDB page for Henchman Story’s cast made me even more excited to hear the voice acting! The voice actors include Caitlyn Elizabeth, Daphne Nitsuga, Elissa Park, Anairis Quinones, Alejandro Saab, Anthony Sardinha, Mark Soskin, Howard Wang, and Suzie Yeung. The colors are vibrant, and I quite like the art style. I am a big fan of visual novels, and even before starting the game, it has great graphic appeal. Henchman Story is a ~200,000 word satirical visual novel in which you play as a much aggrieved henchman who works for a “bumbling” supervillain named “Lord Bedlam.” You may not be the most competent supervillain sidekick, and the purple spandex uniform may not be the most fashionable thing ever, but in this case crime does seem to pay (with added healthcare benefits!).
