The Unexpected Quest

The Unexpected Quest is an adventure game with strategy and management elements, set in a medieval fantasy world on the brink of disaster. You take on quests, hunt for treasure, gather resources and build, battle, cast spells and brew potions as you work to bring order to the world.

Explore the world

You travel through quiet villages, snow-capped mountaintops, impenetrable forests and foul-smelling swamps, where strange creatures may help you, need your help or threaten to eat your brains. Quests give you a chance to help the world’s inhabitants and earn rewards.

Gather and build

You collect materials and keep food and resources stocked so your settlement can grow. Dwarves need food before they will work, and buildings require suitable materials. You can bridge turbulent rivers, build docks in swamps, repair structures and construct new ones. Mills produce food, sawmills provide building materials and forges improve equipment; surplus goods can be sold at the market. The game includes a range of building styles and colors.

Equip and fight

You can hire experienced soldiers, improve their armor and weapons, and fight to conquer. Magic items and potions can help when food or materials run low, soldiers are wounded or workers cause trouble. You can obtain magic items in several ways, including saving gold, completing quests and looting chests.

Tales mode

Tales mode focuses on battles across its two initial chapters. You can choose from three difficulty levels.
