Not a Hero Demo Now Available

Not a Hero is a game about a time travelling BunnyLord who's running for the Mayor of London on a campaign of brutality and violence. The game itself parodies election campaigns in the UK. 

Anyway, there's a demo available for the game now, along with news that the game is being discounted for 10% for anyone who buys it before its release, along with a free downlaod of Roll7's skateboarding title OlliOlli. 

Here's a bit of hilarious fluff that the developers put out in a press release:

"We're pretty used to dealing with activist groups that have a bone to pick with a Devolver Digital game," said Devolver CFO Fork Parker. “Don’t get me started on the battles with People for the Ethical Treatment of Skateboards when we launched OlliOlli.”

While incidents such as these are often a distraction for game developers, many see these discussions as a proof point that games are becoming a medium that can raise its voice and become parts of larger, more meaningful political discussions.

"If there is one thing Not A Hero will be remembered for itÂ’s a brilliant cover-based combat mechanic and its deep and thoughtful commentary on the lack of true democracy in so-called democratic elections held in modern Western societies," noted Roll7 Political Strategist Simon Bennett.
