Hello, friends! I have been hard at work in this newest update of Nick Quest in the hopes of giving this game a nice facelift and to really bring some quality-of-life changes to the game after a bit of research. A lot of hours have been poured into this and there's a laundry list of changes! I truly hope that you enjoy what this game has evolved into.

Here is the list of changes to the game:

Friends, Nick Quest is now a game that surpasses my original vision. The game is approachable, with numerous balances and quality of life features added. I feel that the game in its current state is what it was always meant to be. It now gives a fun, yet challenging experience that has smoothed out most of the difficulty spikes (outside of the bonus dungeons of course) and tells its tale in a smoother, more consistent way.

Now is the time... to embark on your Nick Quest!
