The value story

102 discounts in the 10 years on record, a median of 75 percent off across all of them, roughly 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.

It is cheaper than 86 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 62 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. The Henry Stickmin Collection ($5.99, scores 91) and Left on Read (free, scores 55) both outscore it.

What players say

This is a fun little choice-based game with each adventure not lasting more than a minute or so. Really good to kill a few minutes in between game queues or on relaxed days. It can get a bit repetative if you play for too long though. Still highly recommended!

"Collecting Endings Simulator" Impossible Quest is an endless try to throw obstacles into your way to reach the goal. The game mainly consists of 4 worlds of text-based VN elements where you have to testout each of the choices. So boring, so repetive. Of course a save function is not useful and implemented, but it may would help you to not waste your time. On the other side sometimes the game breaks its own frames...
