Author Comments

Thrust into the limelight due to a wardrobe malfunction, you, a lowly sidekick, must speak to a hostile press corps expecting a hero.

Praise or insult your hero. Steal his identity. Flirt relentlessly with reporters.

The possibilities are endless, except that there are only thirteen of them, because there are thirteen endings.

A fun text adventure

Well you cant go wrong with a text adventure game such as this it was even comical at times couldnt complete them all but it was a fun game and a nice change from the normal stuff out there, I have reviewed somany of these kinds of games from the worst to some average ones to the best ones out there, And this entry would be right up there, its not perfect but its notbad either, its pretty fun aswell as some good fun comes with this one. keep up the good work and let it Thrive, and Thrive it will with your talent at hand.

interesting game got all the ending but 7.
Maybe there an option i'm missing I thought i went through all the options. :(
Nice text adventure game

Good, but I don't know how to get endings 5, 6 and 7

I played Ridiculous Text Adventures and it was hilarious and this was amazing and made me laugh too

I loved the game!
It took me a while to get the 6th ending, but I loved exploring all the possibilities!
Also, I felt so bad that I had to be mean to Elmer to get one of them. I made it up by marrying him three times afterwards. Best ending ever!
Thanks for the game!
