Grand Academy for Future Villains
"The Grand Academy for Future Villains" is a hilarious 200,000-word interactive novel by Katherine Nehring, 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.
Looking for a career as an evil overlord? A mad scientist? A megavillain, a wicked witch, a final boss? You’re not going to get there without hard work, dedication, and thorough education. In the space between worlds, between genres, beyond time and space itself, the Grand Academy for Future Villains trains the bad guys that every good story needs.
You, our hero--or our villain, rather--will arrive at the Academy ready to learn, but you'll quickly discover that there’s so much more to villain school than getting good grades. As you navigate the school year, you’ll have the opportunity to:
• Secure an internship with a prestigious heartless corporation or megalomaniacal dictator
• Seduce a hero to the dark side (Attention students: do NOT allow yourself to be seduced by the forces of good!)
• Put in the extra hours at the lab to become an actual monster.
• Pledge your family’s secret society and become worthy of--or defy--the grand destiny your family has mapped out for you.
• Pay off your student loans (in the blood of your enemies, if necessary).
• Find true love, deadly rivalry, or both at the same time with your fellow students.
• Save your alma mater, take it over, betray it, or drop out in a blaze of glory.
Our alumni have gone on to dominate worlds, conquer galaxies, break hearts, and succumb to the creeping darkness in their souls. The choices that you make at our school will determine whether you join their illustrious company.

The story was very imaginative and had a interesting plot. But the story barely developed characters. And the end was extremely rushed. Kinda just ended. Some choices did not seem to matter. In the end I was disappointed on how rushed this book felt. I wanted to give one star for how rushed it was. But because of the imagination I had to give it 3.
The game in my opinion is average. Its diffucult to pass through the story without being bored of yourself or without being too frustrated of the choices. The story isnt that good and while I don't know what makes a story "good" I do know that im skipping unread text due to disinterest. The choices are simply frustrating, while other reviewers dont mind, I do and it saps my enjoyment because I spend more time being correct than the story itself because you don't know stats that it corellates.
I have been looking for a game like this since I was a in high-school myself. The narrative choices, plots, character's, all of it I'm in love with. Wish there were more years mycsane character could go but I have many more play through to go. Thank to the developers and creators and everyone involved.
Although I didn't pay for the game, there are errors in the first 2 free chapters already. When choosing the option of your title being your name, the story goes on calling you, "first name". There are also moments when the paragraphs are cut off abruptly, breaking immersion and leaving me confused.
Ending is too sequel-dependant. Look at Fallen Hero for an example of a satisfying but sequel-enabling ending. Actually, I really hope whoever wrote this reads that one - there's a lot to learn from its success. Not saying that yours is objectively worse or better. You have a unique tone that a lot of people obviously love. Now gve me the sequel already! I want it.
Deeply complex choice trees, subtle humor throughout, a story that left me invested and ready to run another few playthroughs to find out more. Massive amount of content, 300% worth the price to finish the story. 10/10 would (and will) play again. One of my favorites from this group so far
You guys are getting worse every story the syory activly ignores decisions I was a study hard villain with Z grades and my choices made 0 difference on what happened after the 40+ $ I've spent on you all you woukd think I'd know better but nooooo. I'm done with yiu guys and all your stories goodbye
Imaginative and fun, but choices are superficial at best. RA is the same no matter which genre dorm is chosen, as is the other dorm inhabitant. Avoid using family name, get lectured on overusing family authority anyways. A lot of little things like this add up to detract from the experience in a major way. It would have been better as a normal book, without the illusion of choice.
Five bucks for an entirely text based game ? You're not kidding? That's an insane price for this type of game, which is to say interactive novel, from some random writer on Google play. I'm sorry, that's way too much. If it was a dollar or mayyybe 2 dollars..I'd buy that. But five bucks??? I think I'll play w my imagination for free thanks
I absolutely love it. This game led me to a love of gamebook games. The story was really good, and you'll get to understand how your choices are vital to the story.
I went into this expecting something like "Ohhh, be a bad guy school! Mua HA HA!" But it was a very fulfilling story, with many twists and turns. Well worth the purchase in my book.
The storyline us absolutely awesome!!! I love it so much!! Need more villainy theme games like this!! Thank you for such great storytelling type game thingy!!
Pretty cool game so far, haven't gotten the full version though. I love how you just get the option to take the teacher down with you first class you have with her.
Very immersive story with unique and fun characters and a lot of options and choices for a different expirence every playthrough
Jumps too much to the point i felt me decisions could not be taken into proper account and the writer thinks they are more clever than they actually are. A shame for such a great idea of a game.
Too short for the cost, and I didn't feel like it has a satisfying ending. It leads into another book.
Story was fun and intriguing, but legnthy and also not free. It was fun while it lasted though.
Instantly wants you to buy the game and if you say no, gives you an ad, F@-# THAT!
great game. but you cant save, please add a auto save or something
An exceptionally fun choose-your-own-adventure experience! Imagine making your own comic book villain in a world as wonderfully detailed as Hogwarts with the writing style and flair of J.K. Rowling. High praise I know, but see for yourself.
WHY AREN'T ALL THESE GAMES FRREEE!! There are much much better games that don't cost anything but for some reason all text games require you to pay! Why is this!??!
It made me uninstall on my other phine after purchasing it on the first phone. Just to make it work. -_-
Please write more books like this Villains are greater than heroes, please never stop writing about them.
Not actually free, 30 bucks for full game
Thank you very much this nice.. I hope more episodes to come hehe （＾ｖ＾）
All you guys do is rip off stories and then try to force people to pay for them, fear not for you can get the full version for free at SBenny
it was fun and was honestly a great story
Entertaining, and as silly as you would expect.
I enjoyed the story and choices until I bought the full version. Overall a disappointment. I've replayed several times several different ways and have figured out most of the endings and options. For $7.99 I expected so much more. There wasn't a lot of customisation for role play. Most of the time you have to pick certain choices just to get a good ending. You only pick from the events chosen and not daily life, leaving limited outcomes. Animation between texts can be buggy. Just disappointed.
