A Short Quest description
A Short Quest — Description
A Short Quest is a first‑person RPG from a tiny two‑man indie team who pour care into every detail. You step into a crumbling Kingdom where the king has lost his mind and goblin raids threaten what remains of the realm. Your mission is clear in name, but perilous in practice: carry a note of great importance to the king and survive the journey through a world that tests you at every turn.
The land is alive with varied environments—dense forests, shadowy caves, ancient crypts, and fetid swamps—each filled with fully voiced NPCs who bring the story to vivid life. Explore freely, loot chests buried deep beneath the surface, uncover hidden secrets high in the tree canopies, and even pause for a simple moment to drink a beer in the tavern as you gather rumors and courage.
Gameplay blends creative combat with flexible problem solving. Equip a diverse arsenal of weapons, spells, and tools to adapt to tough encounters. The world context pushes you to think beyond brute force: pit enemies against one another using a deep alliance system, leverage friendly fire when it serves a strategy, or unleash necromancy spells to bend the battlefield to your will. Each choice reshapes your path and the challenges you meet.
Progression centers on experience gained in combat and the ability to tailor your abilities through asymmetric skill trees. Hone your prowess in both melee and magic, choosing branches that match your preferred playstyle and the threats you face. The game rewards experimentation, so you can switch tactics as enemies evolve and new opportunities arise.
Throughout your odyssey, a loyal dog companion travels with you, offering help both in and out of combat. Gear up this companion as you would yourself, enhancing survivability and opening new tactical possibilities. A Short Quest emphasizes atmosphere, choice, and a personal journey through a broken kingdom begging to be repaired—or at least survived.
