About A Short Quest

A Short Quest is a bite-sized, first-person RPG developed by a 2 man indie team. Together we are hand-crafting this RPG set within the borders of a crumbling Kingdom. The king has gone mad, goblin raids have become commonplace and you are tasked with a seemingly simple task. Take a note of great importance to the king, and survive the journey.

  • Adventure through the kingdom's forests, caves, crypts, and swamps filled with fully voice acted NPCs
  • Loot chests deep below the surface, find hidden secrets in the tree-tops, and drink a beer in the tavern
  • Use a variety of weapons, spells, and tools to creatively overcome tough encounters
  • Pit enemies against each other using a deep alliance system, friendly fire, or necromancy spells
  • Choose your playstyle by upgrading two asymmetric melee and magic skill trees
  • Discover the secret properties of your items via the Item Knowledge system
