Lion Quest Infinity

Here's another one of those 'maybe's. If you love a good slice-of-life visual novel and like what you see of the gameplay in the trailer, I wouldn't stop you from checking the game out. That said, for my personal taste, and for those like me, I lean towards not recommending Lion Quest Infinity. Unfortunately, in the end I found that I was unable to enjoy the platforming gameplay sections, which make up around half of the game; I'll get into that more later. The other half of the game on the other hand, the visual novel half, was pretty great. It's a slice-of-life story where you go into the office every day and develop relationships (positive and negative) with your bosses and co-worker, and it's written really well. The conversations you have with your co-worker are especially relatable, and they were enough to drive me to play through the platforming levels I wasn't enjoying. There were some aspects of it that bothered me a bit like one character disappearing for a long time just because they were no longer a focus of the story, but overall I really enjoyed the visual novel portion of the game. Platformers are usually my absolute favorite genre to play, and I felt the platformin…

unique and charming. I wish it had reached a little farther thematically - the story is put together well enough to earn bigger conclusions, I think, than it actually came to. anyway very nice

Half workplace visual novel, half puzzle platformer - I didn't care for the visual novel, but the platforming parts were fun.

I can't believe this game only has 4 user reviews. You have to play it to believe it. The sheer..... I don't have the words to express what I experienced exactly. Why did I wait so long to play this game?! I've played a lot of indie games over the years, and every once in a while I stumble across one that reminds me why I keep digging through Steam looking for hidden gems. **Lion Quest Infinity** is one of those games. Honestly, if you had tried explaining this game to me before I played it, I probably would have laughed. Half visual novel. Half puzzle platformer. During the day you're dealing with office life, incompetent bosses, awkward coworkers, and painfully relatable conversations. At night you're controlling Jethro the Lion and his friends after they steal a magical grandfather clock and accidentally throw the universe into complete chaos. Are they actually trying to save reality? Is the whole thing just some elaborate publicity stunt for a book tour? The game never seems too concerned with giving you a straight answer, and that's part of its charm. The biggest compliment I can give Lion Quest Infinity is that it has personality. So many games today feel like they're tr…
