Description
Can a wanna-be hero like you rescue the city of Kendrickstone, held hostage by an evil wizard and his troop of black-clad soldiers? Face down fierce foes with spell, sword, or silver tongue. Outwit cunning rivals, cement your fledgling reputation, and maybe, just maybe, make enough money to pay your rent!
“The Hero of Kendrickstone” is an epic 240,000-word interactive fantasy novel by Paul Wang, where your choices control the story. It's entirely text-based—without graphics or sound effects—and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.
Step into the shoes of a fledgling adventurer in a world full of magic and mystery! Master physical combat, magic, stealth, or diplomacy. Choose to befriend–or betray–sorcerers and knights, bandits and baronesses.
Will you spend the last of your silver on a bed for the night, or potions for your next adventure? Will you spend your evenings studying ancient secrets, or prize-fighting for extra coin? Will you seek a mentor to help hone your skills, or strike out on your own? Will you prove to be a paragon of compassion, or a callous mercenary? Will you die forgotten and un-mourned, or will you become the Hero of Kendrickstone?

Ratings and Reviews
Beautifully written, fast paced and a lot of fun.
'The Hero of Kendrickstone' is possibly my favourite of the 'Choice Of' games. The prose is excellent, both dramatic and funny, and the choices the game offers have a large affect on the storyline. The setting is detailed and interesting with plenty of lore to read though, and the inclusion of drawn maps and background information add a lot
The only negative I can think of is that it is fairly easy to mess up and fail in certain situations, which makes getting through the following ones very difficult. This is problematic as there is no way to go back to a previous chapter - you can only restart the game entirely. Still, once you understand the basic structure of the game you can make your way through it easily enough, though this may require serval restarts.
Overall, the game is great for fans of text adventures and fantasy. It's a fun and exciting read, with well written characters, an interesting setting and lots of replay value thanks to the many choices it offers. I definitely recommend it.
Short and a bit too "progressive" for want of a better word but still good.
It's pretty good. I like the fact that you can become a jack-of-all-trades type successfully (I've done it, it was nowhere near as easy as going full power, full will, full subterfuge or full eloquence, though).
One thing that, well, "bothers" might be putting too strong an emphasis on it but, for a mostly medieval society, the women of the land are pretty well respected though it's fantasy and probably for the best, anyway for the enjoyment of the players.
Furthermore, this is probably the first game I've encountered that let's you pick a "non-binary" gender and have you able to write your own pronouns in (I had some fun with that in one playthrough). Maybe it's just because I'm not used to it but I found it a bit odd.
There are a few quality of life upgrades they could have, being able to buy more than 1 item in the market if you have the money for it springs to mind.
With all that being said, though. It's pretty fun and will probably give you a handful of hours of enjoyment.
Excellent
You earned five stars at 'stop right there criminal scum'.
