Adventure Quest, A Play About A Game Is Live

[triverse]

Adventure Quest is a play based on early adventure games most heavily enfluenced by the ones that Sierra released (Quest for Glory, and King's Quest).  For a quick refresher you can check the first forum post here.

There are 5 dates available for viewing the play in July, only one is left in June though (Thursday the 25th) so you have time to head that way if your in the area and interested.  For more information you can join the Adventure Quest Facebook page, and check out the brief article from Time Out New York, Game Journal has an interview with the creators of AQ available.  Destructoid.com has an interview with Corey Cole, the programmer for Quest for Glory to find out his thoughts on Adventure Quest.

A clip from the Facebook page for Adventure Quest:

The town of Perilton has been invaded by the dreaded Cult of the Octopus, and our dashing hero is the only one who can save it! Gasp as he evades bloodthirsty monsters and solves devious puzzles! Cheer him on as he fights to win the hand of the mayor's beautiful daughter! Watch as he meticulously collects inventory items, and then exchanges them with other characters for new inventory items, which are then used to solve more puzzles! Shift uncomfortably in your seat as the narrative becomes increasingly unhinged! Glance around nervously as characters are brutally murdered for no particular reason! Weep silently as your faith in a meaningful, ordered universe is irrevocably shaken! 

Capturing the style and spirit of the Golden Age of home computer gaming, Adventure Quest is both a nostalgic treat and a glimpse into the yawning Void.
