Henchman Story

Henchmen for Hire - Two Broke Henchmen Team Up!

Everyone loves a good team up! But why do superheroes always get all of the fun? Why can't two mostly competent, financially challenged henchmen team up for money, infamy and ridiculous hijinks? Well now they can, as Henchman Story teams up with Penny Larceny: Gig Economy Supervillain to form the Henchman for Hire Bundle!



That means you'll get an extra 10% off of both games if you purchase them together - or if you already own one and want to complete your collection. So if you've already played Henchmen Story and are looking for a game with a similar premise, then you'll get an extra discount when you buy Penny Larceny. And vice versa for any Penny Larceny fans!

On top of that, both games are on sale for the Steam Autumn Sale, which means you steal both games for a great price! Check it out:

And as always, to all of Henchman Story's players and fans, thank you for your support.

Awards and Our Heartfelt Thanks

Henchman Story is an Award Winner!



With the end of the year comes award season, and we're proud to say the Henchman Story won a couple of honors! First, we won Switchabo's 'Best Hidden Gem' Award!



And we also earned an Honorable Mention in the SwitchRPG Awards, where they had some lovely things to say about the game.



Henchman Story is the story of…well…a henchman. With an abundance of endings, CGs to unlock, and paths to take, it was fun to play as Stan the henchman as he made the best (or worst) choices of his life and seeing the consequences of said choices. The comic book inspiration is also a treat to take in.


Thank You!
