Pocket Quest!

Pocket Quest! is half way between a traditional JRPG and board games such as Snakes and Ladders. What normally happens in a role-playing game then, is revisited to fit the mechanical properties of a game with boards, squares and dices to throw.

I' ve developed it by myself in 7 years from 2007 to 2014.
*I've released it in Italian, and now, after another 2 long years, the english translation is ready. Enjoy it!

Story:

The beginning of the story is simple: the young and carefree warrior Nono, in her typical heroes wanderings, comes across an edict in which unimaginable rewards are promised to those who will rescue the kidnapped prince of the kingdom! With hopes and thirst for riches, Nono decides to embark on this mission facing a long trip with Uzu, a giant snail she met on the way. But the journey is not without risks, as well as the naturals pitfalls of the places to cross, Nono and Uzu will have to contend with the emissaries of the mastermind behind the kidnapping, ready to sabotage Nono's journey in any way possible.

Characters:

Nono

The main character! She's a silent warrior, carefree and kindhearted, but also money-hungry and unfortunate.
Nono's identity, however, is far beyond that of mere adventurer and her full name, Nono is just a diminutive, hides origins that inspire fear and respect.

Uzumaki

One specimen of the intelligent race of "gigacciole" (giga snails). On her way to the castle, Nono saves Uzumaki (Uzu for friends) from an innominable menace earning the respect and gratitude of her new friend. And thus Uzu joins party and accepts to accompany her/his saviour. Uzu is hermaphrodite, very direct in his/her speaking and very curious about the world. It has studied a lot too.

Lily

Little demon, succubus class.
Lily refers to herself in third person and she's the main antagonist of Nono during her journey. She's arrogant and with a huge ego and she'll do anything she can to stop our heroine. She's equipped with a giant magical roulette that can inflict various curses.

Cleo

A sphinx showgirl who loves to travel the world and do riddles to her victims... I mean guests.
She conduct the quiz show "Who Would Be Millennial?" where you can win money or lose your life if you're outrageously ignorant.
She's also the elder in a sisterhood of metahumans from around the world.

The Others...
Many others characters give life to the universe of Pocket Quest!, cameos from other italian games, bizarre merchants, anime tribute, some neutral, some good, others hostiles. It'll be a long jouney!

Gameplay:

Nono's journey is summed up in 4 looping circular boards, each 64 squares long.

The purpose of Nono in each board is simple: accumulate enough experience levels to gain access to the clash with the Boss of that area and defeat him. Various types of squares are scattered along the route, each representing an aspect of the classic role-playing games:

-The INN, where Nono can rest and save the game;

-The classic SHOP, where refueling of objects and equipment;

-TRAPS which damage HitPoints;

-MONEY, always handy during the adventure;

-MONSTER squares represent the "casual encounters" with the monsters in that area against which it will be necessary to fight to level up;

-MEETING square allows you to have a chat with local people, which could also assign Nono missions in exchange for rewards more or less generous;

-HOT SPRINGS are there to rejuvenate the body and spirit;

-The BOSS square, where the battle with the guardian of that level awaits (when Nono is ready);

There are other squares around the board, some hide various mini-games, a source of entertainment and money in Pocket Quest!

During her trip, however, Nono will periodically be interrupted by Lily, the little demon emissary. She'll curse our heroine with a magic roulette, casting every type of disadvantage on her, such as not being able to see the squares or the closure of shops.
