WOW! Its hard to imagine that this small game about John running through genres would end up as a full Steam release!
For those that don't know, in late 2023 I attended a History of Games course taught by the one and only John Appleby.
We were tasked at looking at 4 different genres through 6 different lenses (these lenses would later become the Evil Eyes). We were meant to do simple write-ups, however John mentioned that some people go a bit beyond. Some did presentations, posters, etc., and one person even did a game!
Now, I too have had a history of "taking creative liberty" with projects, so when I heard someone had made a game before me, I knew I had to as well. So I pitched the idea to my teammates, and 5 weeks & 200+ hours of designing later, John's Quest was shown off!
Since then, I've just had John's Quest on the back shelf of games I've never publicly released. I thought that due to the game's nature, it wouldn't make sense to the outside audience. However, now I realize that John's Quest deserves the full game treatment! Which is why I decided to polish it up, and present it here on Steam, for you, the gaming enjoyer!
I'd like to thank everyone that made this possible:
Haoxi & Morlan
John Appleby
The translators
The play-testers
That one dude who made a game before I did
You, the player that took the time to play this wacky game
