Hello there, hapless NPC! You've been added to the biggest MMO of 2003, Staves of Edelgeth! The role you'll be serving is that of a Questgiver, and your popularity among fans will determine your fate in the years to come, including 2004's in-development expansion, Shadows Above Uthlend. Now, get to handing out those quests, and good luck! Your job, and by extension, your life, are on the line.

NOTE: We recommend running the game in fullscreen mode for the best experience!

Made in 48 hours for the GMTK Game Jam 2023.

- Click the dialogue options to advance the conversation.

- You will be presented with dialogue choices; some will fit better than others based on the prompt you gave the Adventurers.

- The Adventurers are mere vessels for information. Don't expect them to be helpful!

- Adventurers are randomized! Play another day to see even more conversations.

---

You will greet passing players before giving a prompt explaining the gist of the quest you want to send them on. Then, the player will ask you some clarifying questions about the quest before they agree to take it. You'll need to read context clues in the initial prompt to determine the optimal answers to their questions. If you make the right choices, players will remember you as helpful and memorable. If not... well, they'll remember that too. 

Sometimes, you might be approached by other NPCs to have a short conversation about the world of Edelgeth, helping to immerse nearby players. Good luck, quest giver, and remember to choose your words carefully!

It's funny to saw how other team did a game design for this concept (we had the same one). It's great, if I apparently suck at giving quests :D Congrats!

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
