Good fit- Point-and-click adventure fans who want a short, single-session story

Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a long adventure may find the story's roughly hour-and-a-half duration too short
- Players looking for combat-heavy progression may find the puzzle-and-dialogue focus limiting
- Players who prefer serious fantasy may bounce off the jokes, candy-focused protagonist, and unusual encounters
Our take on Message Quest
Players seeking a substantial adventure may hit the wall when the story concludes after about an hour and a half. Those expecting combat-heavy progression may bounce off the point-and-click structure, where puzzles and conversations carry the journey and boss fights provide occasional set pieces.
What is Message Quest?
Play as the conscience of Feste, a herald whose task is to find a hero and deliver a call to adventure, despite his preference for sleeping and eating candy.
Guide him along the Interworld Road through strange encounters and conversations in a short point-and-click adventure. Traditional puzzles accompany the story, while boss encounters use JRPG-inspired attacks and bonuses. A dialogue system lets players direct both speakers during conversations. The game uses stained-glass visuals, character stories, jokes, hidden references, and an original soundtrack to present its fairy-tale setting. The complete journey lasts about an hour and a half, making it a single-session experience.
