Overview
Henchman Story plunges players into the unglamorous life of a henchman, a thankless role in the shadow of a bumbling supervillain. This narrative adventure, developed and published by Silken Sail Entertainment, offers a unique perspective on the classic superhero trope. You're not the hero, nor are you the mastermind; you're the one in the purple spandex taking a beating from the 'much stronger, much cooler people wearing much fancier spandex.' Despite the occupational hazards, the job offers a steady paycheck and even healthcare, making it a viable, if not ideal, career path.
