Coric's Quest is a small, complete 2D fantasy-themed RPG; guide the intrepid hero Coric through a land thrown into chaos, once watched over by the Elemental Spirits, now possessed by a mysterious darkness.
Styled after the kind of RPGs that were common to the video games consoles of the 80s and 90s, the game is a throw-back to the simple joys of exploring, finding treasure, fighting monsters and watching numbers go up.
The game is made with Rust and Miniquad, and packs about two hours of game play into a single 9 MB file.
