Written by Malin Rydén and published by Creator/ChoiceOfGames' user submitted "Hosted Games" label, the ''Fallen Hero'' series follows the adventures of the Main/PlayerCharacter who, as the title suggests, is a Main/FallenHero. In a world filled with superheroes, supervillains, and people with abilities, the Player Character was originally a superhero named Sidestep. Possessing telepathic abilities, they helped the SuperTeam, the Rangers, during numerous missions. That is, until something happened to them. Now, the PC is on the path towards villainy, and plans on becoming the most feared villain in Los Diablos.

** There's a covert-ops group known as the Special Directive. They generally get deployed into war-zones or as assassins, and are comprised of Re-Genes, who were vat-grown as superheroes with all the powers, [[CloningBlues but none of the rights]].

* DoubleStandardRapeSciFi: Discussed in the second game. [[spoiler:If you are in a romantic relationship with Mortum and tell them the truth, they will point out that the MC sleeping with them while in their puppet body counts as rape since Mortum knew the truth they wouldn't have consented. The MC will acknowledge this but try to explain that how they were trained meant they didn't have any understanding of consent when their relationship started and was just doing what they thought would make Mortum happy. Mortum comes to accept this as they realise that they flirted with the MC first and they genuinely didn't understand what they were doing wrong, but their relationship is left in a difficult place.]]

* TheReasonYouSuck: During their villainous debut, the protagonist can monologue and deliver two of these against Herald and Ortega (the one directed to the latter changes according to the PC's motivations). [[spoiler:However this tends to bite them later, as the first speech towards Herald allows Ortega to ambush them, and the latter one towards Ortega lets Argent get the jump on them as well]].

* AgeGapRomance: Ortega is eight years older than the protagonist, and is nearly two decades only than their puppet. The protagonist can rib them about this, much to their chagrin.

* FrameUp: If you don't pretend to have lost your telepathy, your other option to throw off suspicion for Lady Argent's possession is to "help" her "recover" some memories of running into Locus, a high-level telepath who recently went missing.
