The second game/episode called Live Freemium or Die! isn't that much better and involves you saving a village from an unknown menace. This, as the game points out, results in Player's "motivation" to go on his epic quest to save his girlfriend. In the first game/episode, you play the role of a guy who is aptly named "Player" and witnesses as his girlfriend is abducted by a villain. DLC Quest is even nice enough to point it out to you in the very short intro sequence. This game is a satire so its plot is the same plot you get in many video games. DLC Quest promised to be one of those games but is it really that funny? Also, how does the gameplay hold up? I like humourous games ever since playing old Lucasarts adventure games like The Secret of Monkey Island I've always had a soft spot for games where its premise was just to be funny since as we all know, laughter is the best medicine. ![]() DLC Quest was one of those games I just had to see on Steam and consequently I made sure my vote counted - and count it did as you're now able to buy the game on Steam for as little as $2.99 USD (and when I say "now", I mean since March last year - damn that backlog). The more popular the game is, the more likely it will be released onto Steam. Steam uses Greenlight to determine which games to sell next based on user votes. I vaguely remember DLC Quest when it was listed on Steam's Greenlight page. ![]()
