Category: E4. (Ill-)Fated Quest

The game is centered on a dangerous, harrowing, or arduous task that the protagonist—and only the protagonist—can complete. Maybe it was foretold in a prophecy, maybe you’re the last of your bloodline trying to secure your family’s legacy, or maybe it’s just, like, really personal, you know? Regardless, the quest almost always demands some sort of self-sacrifice along the way. The question that remains is how the journey will end. Will you be successful, but not in the way you expected? Are you destined for an agonizing failure mere steps before the finish line? Will things – somehow – go basically according to plan?
