  • Great podcast for about 25 people

    Did you grow up with a DOS computer instead of a Nintendo, and still dream of typing "sierra.exe" 35 years later? Do adventure games work as a framing device for a podcast about sandwiches? Do you think a tambourine or a bridle is a good way to deal with your snake problem? Does the term "rubber chicken pulley" mean anything to you? Do you want to listen to a podcast about New York from 2 people who don't live there? Then Quest Quest is the podcast for you!

  • Adventure Games!

    Listen to two friends chat, touching upon adventure games for at least most of each episode!

    Hits well for me, a 40+ year old guy who played a lot of these games all my life and also watches both of the hosts play adventure games online.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EGA Games w/Julia Minamata
Q: Why did you choose not to implement heavy branching in The Crimson Diamond?
To avoid an explosion of assets and complexity, and because the designer wanted to maintain a coherent, manageable design while still delivering a rich, investigative experience through detailed information and multiple outcomes.
EGA Games w/Julia Minamata
Q: What makes the game feel detective-like in its design?
The game asks players to actively seek information, formulate questions, and piece together evidence, with integrated clues and a system that supports exploring multiple solutions and evolving understanding rather than following a single linear path.
EGA Games w/Julia Minamata
Q: Could you tell everyone what The Crimson Diamond is?
The Crimson Diamond is a cozy mystery adventure game with a retro-styled, 16-color EGA palette, featuring a text parser interface and a soundtrack created with a Roland MT-32, designed to evoke classic Mystery/Adventure games while adding modern quality-of-life touches.
Space Quest 1
Q: What have you been playing?
I've been playing the game Ball Pit, Ball X Pit. It's a survivor style game and auto shooter crossed with Breakout.
Loooooooooooom
Q: What have you been playing?
Jess shares his experience of playing Loom and the unique musical mechanics of the game.
