About the Game

A Short Quest is a first-person RPG developed by a 2 man indie team. Together we are building a lovingly crafted 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

  • Gain experience in combat and upgrade asymmetric skill trees to hone your skills with melee and magic

  • Gear up your dog companion to help you in and out of combat
