Nerdy Quest

Great retro inspiring adventure game. Just little to short.

A nice flashback to oldschool adventure games a la C64, including the same kind of sighs one had when recieving a witty reply from a character. Some mechanics could use some TLC but it doesn't impact my overall curiosity of "Where is this leading?" Recommend for a nostalgic trip or experiencing oldschool click and point adventure gaming.

Cute but very short. And easy.

i wasn't expecting much but this was actually a fun game. made me chuckle a few times and didn't outstay its welcome. puzzles were the right difficulty, got stuck twice but managed without a walkthrough. i liked the 80's settings and references.

Another game that I wish there is a neutral review button on Steam. This game is pretty short and bland. At first I thought it would be a good one like Not Another Weekend but unfortunately it is not. Some pixel-hunting is in the game but most crappy part is that so many things simply do not react to your click. In other games when you try to use something on a wrong place the character would at least say something like "I do not feel like using this". But this one does not follow the usual pattern. It just does nothing, which makes you wonder if you click the wrong place or it is just a mistake. The only thing I like this game is the retro art. 5/10 and get it at a deep discount.

Short but complete nostalgia journey. Nerdy Quest was very short but felt like something from the late 80s or early 90s. Point and Click adventure is a dying or dead breed of game because they take a lot of effort to write and implement for a game that is ultimately short. If you grew up on "Noun Quest" games you'll appreciate the effort put into the feel of Nerdy Quest. The game overall feels very Sierra rather than Lucasarts and has a few weird moon logic puzzles. It is a very short experience and is linear. There are two action sequences which are very difficult due to how clunky interfaces from this style of game work. It is possible to soft lock yourself and some conversation trees require using the same prompt multiple times which isn't the best design. Overall I recommend this to fans of the genre and the price is reasonable.
