I have just posted two documents about Heroes on my web site. [*]
The first is aimed at rgif readers and documents the actual story
that was going on in the game, since it was sufficiently obfuscated
that few people pieced it together. It is clear, unambiguous,
and story-spoiler-laden but doesn't spoil the puzzles.

The second is aimed at raif readers and is a document I made
while I was designing the plot and puzzles of Heroes. I used it
as a document to evolve my thoughts and get them down on paper so
I could always have all my ideas available to be referred to; it
is, in some sense, a document of the creative process. It is
even more spoiler-laden than the story file, as it spoils
both the story and documents all or most of the puzzles.

Both files (as well as the game) are available at:

[*] Actually I posted them months ago, but they weren't linked to.
