The player takes the role of Professor L, a researcher whose thesis was on the ways bonds develop between superhero teammates. One day, they awaken from a dream in which a gigantic monster devoured their world, only to get a telepathic message from their alternate-reality self that it's a vision of what's to come. Prof. L is now tasked with finding a relic called the Possibility Stone, developing the bonds between at least two superheroes enough that they can channel ThePowerOfLove through the stone to banish the beast, and then use the stone to send a telepathic warning to the next dimension's Professor L, until some way to defeat it for good is found. Complicating the matter is that, due to a side-effect of the stone, they are physically incapable of discussing their vision with anyone. On the bright side, after using their grant money to start up their own superhero organization (with health insurance!), they immediately recruit five superheroes whose bonds may be the key to saving the universe:
* Zircona, a scientist who absorbed alien minerals into her body during an experiment gone wrong, making her incredibly muscular and as durable as diamond

''[[https://store.steampowered.com/app/1041210/Mission_Its_Complicated/ Mission: It's Complicated]]'' is a superhero-themed comedic/romantic free-to-play VisualNovel, released by Schell Games on Valentine's Day 2020.
The player takes the role of Professor L, a researcher whose thesis was on the ways bonds develop between superhero teammates.

* Zircona, a scientist who absorbed alien minerals into her body during an experiment gone wrong, making her incredibly muscular and as durable as diamond
* Riptide, a bipolar gay man who was bit by a radioactive shark, giving him hydrokinetic abilities (and a fin on his head)
* Wifi, a teenage girl who, ever since a brief abduction to the future when she was an infant, has the power to communicate with any technology and (attempt to) convince it to obey her
* Nightgaunt, a genetically-engineered assassin who used to be the sidekick of the heroine that took down his creators, but left and became an AntiHero when he decided he was being coddled
* Zael, a flying, (technically not) laser-eyed alien who was exiled from her planet for feeling too sympathetic (and sometimes romantic) towards conquered races.
With just under two weeks to form at least one eternal bond between these five heroes, Professor L must carefully choose which missions they undertake, and which pairs are sent out. A bad pair, or decision, could lead to someone ending up injured for a day instead of developing their bonds further. And the fate of the world depends on those bonds!

!!Tropes:
* AntiHero: Nightgaunt is brooding, angsty, has a dark backstory, and preferred to work alone between leaving his former mentor Lexiconia and joining Professor L's team.
* BizarreAlienSexes: Zael comes from a planetary empire with five genders and three sexes, but prefers to use "they/them" pronouns for themself.
* ButchLesbian: Zircona, who's been physically fit ever since absorbing alien minerals into her body, and directly asks about there being any cute girls on the team when joining Professor L's team.
* HollywoodAutism: Wifi, partly (but not entirely) due to her superpower, has always found it easier to talk with technology rather than other people.
* InsistentTerminology: Zael repeatedly explains to people, particularly Professor L, that the energy she can emit from her eyes are not technically lasers.

* MultipleEndings: There's one for each pair of superheroes that defeat Ghiradon, as well as a BadEnd if none of them are able to, and a GoldenEnd if enough NewGamePlus runs are completed for every possible pairing to have used the stone at least once.
* PlatonicDeclarationOfLove: Sexually incompatible pairings, such as "Bad Brain Buddies" Riptide and Wifi, still deeply care about each other when maxed out, and this love is strong enough to weaponize the Possibility Stone.
* ThePowerOfLove: Ghiradon's sole weakness is a beam of concentrated energy formed by two people with a strong emotional bond empowering the Possibility Stone. Notably, this works with strong Platonic love as well as romantic.
* SelectiveObliviousness: It takes until midway through the third/final event of the Zircona/Wifi relationship for both of them to realize the other has been flirting with them the whole time, and hasn't been trying to let the other down easy or sees them as only a friend.
* {{Technopath}}: Wifi's superpower; she can literally talk with machines (even low-tech like watches and Ferris wheels get little faces and voices) and get them to follow her commands.
