Stair Quest
# Stair Quest

Stair Quest is a non-commercial "adventure" game serving as an homage to Sierra's King's Quest series and similar games, originally released in 2016.

## Development

Stair Quest was originally developed in two weeks as an entry in the 2016 Adventure Jam. A Special Edition, with added rooms, improved animation, and fixed bugs was released on 9 January 2017.

## Reception

* Stair Quest was nominated for five AGS Awards for 2016, including Best Gameplay and Best Short Game.
* Luke Plunkett of Kotaku described it as an "80s gaming nightmare".
* William Hughes of The A.V. Club coined the term "frustalgia" to characterize Stair Quest and said "there are worse ways to spend 10 minutes of your life".
* For Siliconera, Joel Couture said that Stair Quest had "a humorous, if vicious, focus on how frustrating" parts of the old-school adventure games could be, and calls it a "maddening, yet lighthearted adventure of stairs and gaming history".
