In SideQuest you take control of a valiant… ish hero… kind of person. Who is exceedingly prone to taking up any old task that comes to mind. Gameplay is fairly simple - You are given a diverging path with different opportunities of… varying degrees of adventure. The game is completed by remembering what you were sent to do and doing it - without getting enticed by whatever the other path offers.

Mostly just challenging myself to follow through.

I enjoyed the idea of the main quest completely ending the game. It encourages actively avoiding the main quest, which is something I do anyway. Past that, there's not really much to do. Congrats on finishing a game!

Haha, this is cute. Would love to see made longer!

Surprisingly enjoyable! Avoiding your quest is harder than it looks. Level 6 was a slog, and I ended the game shortly after getting to level 7. Would be cool if there was a secret ending. Thanks for the game!

Haha what a brilliant idea! I love to see more of this game but it is a bit too short.

Neat dialog tree. Definitely one of the more novel games out there!

At first I was confused why doing the quest was ending my game, and I re-read the title and felt dumb...

Anyway, nice little game. It's simple, but solid and well done. Good job..

This made me smile. At first, I didn't understand why it was so short! Nice execution of a funny idea!

I find the concept funny and interesting.
But I found your game a little bit short/ with not enought content.
I was a good experience =)

Great idea and humor here.
Sadly, it's lacks of sound

Great tongue-in-cheek commentary on the side quest/main quest dichotomy of RPGs

Interesting text-choosing game but much better metagame in it :-) I love the idea and I would like see it with more options and more work on it. Nice entry!
