Heel Turn
A downloadable game for Windows and Linux
Heel Turn is a choice-driven wrestling game about eight shows, one main event, and every dangerous decision between the bells.
Read your rival's tells, manage your stamina, work the crowd, and choose whether to honour the booked finish or go into business for yourself.
Every exchange has consequences. Work clean sequences to earn locker-room trust. Make it real to hurt your rival and draw a louder reaction. Play to the crowd when they ask for it, take a breath when your stamina is gone, and never throw a real shot when your opponent is braced to counter.
Call the finish. The promoter books you to win or to lose. Give them the finish and the locker room trusts you. Steal it and the crowd loves you, until the promoters stop calling.
Between shows, spend your purse on the physio or on rehearsal. Crowd heat pays a bonus. Trust at zero ends the bookings.
