SIDEQUESTERS Demo
A downloadable game for Windows
This is the Demo of the game I have always wanted to make, a game with no point.
Development started around December 7, 2025, right after the GitHub GameOff Game Jam.
The Full Game is predicted to be out 2-5 years from now. I'm just one dude!
All source code for this demo is available at https://github.com/TheCharBot/SIDEQUESTERS
Keep in mind, this is pretty much a solo project by a 14 year old.
The Time Loop has been running for ages, fueling Similarity.
Your job is to stop it.
Do anything you can, with anything you can find.
