Not the Hero

Adventure 2187

Get ready to dive into the pixelated world of Not the Hero, where you play as the unsung sidekicks and background characters that every hero conveniently ignores! Ever wondered what Villager #4 does while the hero is off saving the world? Spoiler alert: not much! You’ll also take on the roles of the shopkeeper who’s definitely running a “buy one sword, get one free” deal at the east gate, Gurt the first boss who’s just trying to enjoy his bridge time, the princess who probably just wants a nap, and the dark lord who’s really just misunderstood (he has a heart of gold, I swear!).

Each chapter is like a surprise box of chocolates – some will make you laugh, others may just make you question your life choices as you engage in deep conversations or epic arena battles that are just as intense as a snail race. Your choices might matter, but let’s be real: the hero’s got this in the bag. Collect 22 achievements, try every possible answer (even the ones that make you facepalm), and hunt for the elusive hidden ending that might just reveal that Villager #4 has a secret career as a stand-up comedian. Get ready to be the sidekick you never knew you wanted to be!

Use WASD or the arrow keys to walk and SPACE to talk, look at things and continue dialogue. Pick replies with the mouse. In the bridge fight, move with WASD, strike with SPACE or J, slam the ground with K and roll with SHIFT. As the dark lord, hover with WASD and cast spells with SPACE or J, K and L. Press ESC or TAB to pause. On a phone or tablet, drag to walk, tap to continue and use the on-screen buttons to fight.
