![]() Of course he wouldn’t, that’d be too easy. I took the teeth to the blacksmith, but of course he wouldn’t melt the teeth down for me. He wants you to melt them down into a medallion. See, it’s not enough to just hand Kurdt the silver teeth. From there, you cut out the thing’s teeth, and that’s where things get a bit… adventure game-y. Like a good adventure game player, I shrugged and said, “Sure.”Īfter slaying the creature, I used my sword to cut off its head, which I carried around for a few screens because you never know. After defeating him in a drinking game, he sent me to kill a beast in the woods and retrieve its silver teeth. I’m always up for a good round of drinking, so I decided to speak with Kurdt, a muscle-bound bar patron who buys people drinks when they make fun of his nosehair. Once you’ve spoken with the locals and watched the execution, the sun goes down and what you do next determines which path you take through the game. ![]() The narrator, in particular, does a good job of relaying information to you in a snarky, smug manner similar to that of Space Quest. While the build of the game I played lacked certain sound files (including dialogue), what was there was pretty solid the characters all have unique personalities and quirks, even the insignificant ones. The first goal of the game is to get to know the locals before attending an execution. The game has players control William Roehm, a charming but devious man on the run, as he arrives at the quaint little town of Volksville. In the short time I’ve had with Quest for Infamy, I’ve felt like a time traveler-I remembered being a kid, sitting in front of a computer for hours- hours-trying to figure out what to do in Space Quest. ![]() Quest for Infamy is a bit different from those games, because it isn’t just trying to update those games-it’s trying to be one of them. Among them, very few manage to live up to the adventure games of the 90s, with their strangely compelling dialogue, fantastic voice acting, and brutal difficulty. Thanks to Kickstarter, the world has plenty of modern point-and-click adventure games.
