1Quest is a retro roguelike, where you control a young adventurer who pursues an evil blood cult, after they abducts several children, including the princess of the kingdom! You got 7 days before he can start his evil ritual to summon an ancient demon from the sacrificing of the children. Each region of the realm contains some dangerous place where you can find various help and you can choose your own path to choose your rewards. But do not loose time, if you want to save all the children... Fight monsters, grab loot, become more powerful and save the children to prevent the blood cult to summon the demon.

Using a World Map in a Roguelike is pretty unusual. But fear not, It is mainly to add some macro choice for your character development.

If you want a perfect victory (who doesn't ?), you have only 7 days to reach the final dungeon and kill the boss there. So each day, you have to make a new dungeon, deeper in enemy territory.
Du to the map layout, it means that each day, you have 2 dungeons to choose from. Each one features a specific rewards. That can be specific loot (weapons, armor parts, magic books & staffs ...), magic altar (which raise your magic affinities ... more on that in a later article) or some special reward (attribute boost, extra experience ...)

So, if you start the game with a warrior, you will certainly look for a good weapon, trying to find a lost merchant that will gift you one if you escort him to the exit of the forest. But what if you already have a good axe?
You may want to choose to explore the Fire Mountain instead, in search of the Earth altar. After all, the Stone Skin spell looks great for you !

As the map is randomly generated, each time you play you will have those additional choices to make. Some times it will make you switch to a different template for you character to benefit the most from your specific rewards !
