About Grand Academy for Future Villains

Congratulations! We are delighted to welcome you to the Grand Academy for Future Villains, the world's finest evil preparatory school, where unimaginable power begins with a world-class education!

The Grand Academy for Future Villains is a hilarious 200,000-word interactive novel by Katherine Nehring, where your choices control the story. It's entirely text-based, without graphics or sound effects, and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.

Looking for a career as an evil overlord? A mad scientist? A megavillain, a wicked witch, a final boss? You’re not going to get there without hard work, dedication, and thorough education. In the space between worlds, between genres, beyond time and space itself, the Grand Academy for Future Villains trains the bad guys that every good story needs.

You, our hero--or our villain, rather--will arrive at the Academy ready to learn, but you'll quickly discover that there’s so much more to villain school than getting good grades. As you navigate the school year, you’ll have the opportunity to:
  • Secure an internship with a prestigious heartless corporation or megalomaniacal dictator
  • Seduce a hero to the dark side (Attention students: do NOT allow yourself to be seduced by the forces of good!)
  • Put in the extra hours at the lab to become an actual monster.
  • Pledge your family’s secret society and become worthy of--or defy--the grand destiny your family has mapped out for you.
  • Pay off your student loans (in the blood of your enemies, if necessary).
  • Find true love, deadly rivalry, or both at the same time with your fellow students.
  • Save your alma mater, take it over, betray it, or drop out in a blaze of glory.

Our alumni have gone on to dominate worlds, conquer galaxies, break hearts, and succumb to the creeping darkness in their souls. The choices that you make at our school will determine whether you join their illustrious company.

It tries to be self-aware and genre deconstructive, but mostly it accomplishes being not funny.

The setting and concept here is quite good. Interesting idea, I sincerely like it a lot. The story that the author decided to tell within that setting is the weakest point of the whole thing. With a lot of CoG titles, even if I can't remember the names of characters a week or so later, I can remember their vibe and what I liked or didn't like about them. With this one, I couldn't remember anything about any of the characters the very next day. They're that forgettable.

The game was very disengaging.No coherent stories or connections especially with the characters. It was an awesome concept but was poorlyy executed this time around (we;;, for me it was. You may see differently but I am a huge fan of rpg and story rich games...this did not feel like it)

Delivers on its premise, high on lampshading and humour. You play a villian learning to be a villian and the jokes come from how its plays tropes straight. For example, you pass an exam for "villian arrogance" by simply walking out and ignoring the test or your parent will be very proud if you blackmail them into paying your tutation. Very funny and ability to choose what kind of villian you want to be, without beeing railroaded into one archtype or god forbid, a hero.
