What would YOU do for a deathburger? How about walking unarmed in a zombie-filled town?

BORGAR QUEST 1 is a short comedic visual novel about a guy who goes to get a burger. It's inspired by my own "borgar quest". By which I mean I drove to a certain restaurant what my family implied was a weirdly long trip just for a burger.

Features

  • Multiple choices
  • 3 different endings
  • Memes!
  • Obscure references
  • A cute goth girl
  • "Symbolism"

Probably, better appreciated if one is familiar with the Psychostick "deathburger" skit, link here: Death Burger

Warnings: slapstick/violence, some swearing, a narrator who's often more concerned with making jokes than the player's agency

Notes

It is fully-playable but essentially a prototype for a bigger and more elaborate project on which I'm working little by little. I thought I could start small as a learning experience. Feel free to tell me what you think and give me suggestions, advice on how it can be improved or what the full game could feature, assistance is very much appreciated. I'm struggling mostly with art. Though I like how Sammy and the burger turned out. The zombie was supposed to be ugly in first place, haha.

I hope you have some fun with it nevertheless!

Possible features for the full game:

  • 2 new characters (Sandy and Vegan, much more talkative)
  • Many more choices and dialogue options
  • Many more endings (all brand new)
  • Additional burger effects
  • Deeper, more elaborate story
  • Secrets to uncover

Made me laugh, hope there'll be more. Nice to see original art instead of AI.  Which drink can you get with the combo?

Thank you for the comment, I'm glad you had fun. :)

There's no drink planned (yet) and it might not be relevant in the game. The combo is supposed to be burger + fries with regard to the skit. But I did give some thought into what drinks Sammy could be selling. What I've come up with: 

1. Cocaine Cola (on what the protagonist may OD on)

2. Sixfold/666-fold espresso (an over-caffeinated drink)

3. Pepsi

I especially like the "Pepsi" option, especially with regards to other choices, because (just like her menu and maybe other things in the game) it may seem so simple and silly but it works in so many different aspects...
