How it feels

A funny, linear Dragon Warrior-style RPG hack with inside jokes, hard battles, and an intentionally incoherent story.

About

In the words of its creator, “Arn’s Winter Quest has been a labor of love for me for two months, and rivals those hacks such as Hat Quest and EarthBound 2.5: Electric Boogaloo Joint Jive. It has a lot of fun inside jokes, an incoherent story, and all new battle graphics. This hack is basically linear Dragon Warrior with a bunch of humor thrown in, so if you like fighting and you like funny and you like very hard viewtiful fun time hacks, then don’t play this hack because it’ll satisfy your cravings and your head will probably explode.”
