When you’re playing an epic role playing game — particularly those of the massively multiplayer variety — it’s entirely possible that you’ll get lost in the side quests. These small little missions aren’t part of the main storyline, and often times they’re pretty dull, requiring little more of you than to go somewhere, pick up an object, and then bring it back. The developer behind Side Quest has decided to poke fun at this phenomenon by creating an experience that includes nothing but fetch quests. While the actual gameplay doesn’t get any more complex than walking around and picking things up, there are plenty of moments to make you smile. And unlike most adventures, the game is very short, so you won’t feel like you’ve wasted a whole lot of time doing nothing.
