The Marvellous Adventures of Flashrat is a Choose Your Own Downfall book—or , if you prefer, a Decide Your Own Death.
In this deeply questionable tale, you play as Scott Macarthur, council toilet cleaner (freelance). A man of simple pleasures and even simpler hygiene habits, Scott resides in an abandoned shopping trolley in his local park after being booted out by his wife—who, as it turns out, has been up to all sorts of shenanigans with Scott’s best friend. But hope is not lost! There’s a chance—a tiny, whisky-stained chance—that Scott might just be a superhero in the making. He’s got a costume (sort of), a purpose (ish), and a mentor: the mysterious, possibly imaginary vigilante known only as Flashrat. Is Flashrat a genuine English-speaking crimefighter? Or is Scott just incredibly dehydrated and off his rocker from drinking something blue he found behind the Co-op? Will you guide Scott toward redemption, heroism, and maybe even a home with an actual roof? Will Scott get his revenge on his wife, or will you lead him to a gooey, romantic, mills-and-boony reunion? …or will your decisions lead him to an inevitable, blood-soaked end involving evil mad scientists, the Yakuza, an evil genius living inside a volcano, a wolf-man (of sorts), a mysterious cobbler, the Brotherhood of the Bogbrush, secret microfilms, and, of course, the KGB? Be warned: ADULTS ONLY! Contains humour as black as your ex’s heart.
