About
Help a bored and nerdy main character finally start "living life" in this quirky narrative puzzle adventure inspired by classic 1980s point-and-click games. Explore cinematic environments, solve unconventional challenges, and unlock new areas as you progress through a world full of pop-culture references. Solve inventory-based puzzles, combine collected items, and interact with characters to move forward in the game — finding the correct solutions is key to advancing.

You play as a chronically bored nerd, stuck in a pointless office job. After figuring out how to get yourself fired, a “the world’s my oyster” adventure begins. Your goal is to start taking chances and explore the wild side of life. Along the way you’ll enter a highly questionable poker tournament, sword-fight a Brando-like tough guy through insults, run naked, and eventually pilot a German warplane from the 1910s. Your choices in dialogues can lead to different humorous responses, adding replay value. 
Classic retro-style point-and-click gameplay
Unlock new areas as you progress
Linear story but you can freely revisit most locations
Dialogue choices affect progression
Examine objects and collect items
Combine items in your inventory to solve puzzles and move forward in the game
Humorous puzzles — often logical, sometimes not — with one correct solution required
100+ references to movies, TV shows, games, and pop culture from the 80s and 90s
Nerdy, twisted humor and playful, chaotic anachronisms
Contains stylized violence, mild nudity, alcohol and tobacco use, and strong language

Control your character with the mouse cursor — just like in classic adventure games — or use the arrow keys. Use the eye icon to examine objects, the speech bubble to start conversations, and the hand icon to pick up or activate items. (You’ll find the icons at the top of the screen, or you can select them by left-clicking your mouse.) Try combining objects to discover the correct solutions.
When unlocking new areas, you can reach them by taking a taxi. Progression is tied to exploration, finding the correct dialogue or item combinations, encouraging players to revisit locations (if they missed something) and interact with the environment to advance the story.
Estimated playtime (experienced players): approximately 2 hours.

Well this is a nice short Game. it has a decent amount of references of old Sierra and Lucas Arts Point & Click Adventures. The writing is a bit clumsy/crude and the Puzzles are rather easy, [spoiler] The longest time it took me, was to figure out that i had to ask a person multiple times the same thing to progress [/spoiler] but it has that old charm from the originals and is fun to play. I wish it was a bit longer tho. If you like those old Adventures from the 80s I'd say give it a shot.
Nerdy Quest is nerdy point & click game with a lovely retro style pixel graphics reminiscent of Leisure Suite Larry (but without the sex). If you want a break from reality it's a good game. Click on everything! I only played a small part of the game but will continue soon. Lovely!
This game was obviously inspired by classic Sierra adventure games. Unlike some old Sierra games that can be more frustrating than fun, this game is more fun than frustrating. Recommended if you like retro style games, but it's not for children or those with sensitive stomachs.
Absolute ♥♥♥♥♥ honestly. It was even shorter than I expected. It wasn't funny with weak references & many hotspots you couldn't interact with even though your pointer would move as if you could interact with them. I would have been disappointed if I got this for free which it probably should be.
Absolutely love this game. The humor, the references, the characters, the sillyness - everything. If you were a child in the 80s 90s this is 100% the game for you. If you were not then this is 110% for you since you missed out.
This just brings me back to the old days! Love the graphics, love the humor and love the sounds and music. I strongly recommend this game for anyone that enjoyed Sierra games and the Monkey Island series.
Great retro inspiring adventure game. Just little to short.
Cute but very short. And easy.
Another game that I wish there is a neutral review button on Steam. This game is pretty short and bland. At first I thought it would be a good one like Not Another Weekend but unfortunately it is not. Some pixel-hunting is in the game but most crappy part is that so many things simply do not react to your click. In other games when you try to use something on a wrong place the character would at least say something like "I do not feel like using this". But this one does not follow the usual pattern. It just does nothing, which makes you wonder if you click the wrong place or it is just a mistake. The only thing I like this game is the retro art. 5/10 and get it at a deep discount.
A nice flashback to oldschool adventure games a la C64, including the same kind of sighs one had when recieving a witty reply from a character. Some mechanics could use some TLC but it doesn't impact my overall curiosity of "Where is this leading?" Recommend for a nostalgic trip or experiencing oldschool click and point adventure gaming.
