Quest for Erasmus

Have you played Quest for Glory 1 (EGA) and been curious what is through the doors on the left and right in Erasmus' purple house? So have I and I decided to make a game about it. With the help of some amazing pixel artists (and me, who I wouldn't call amazing), I'm trying to imagine what the entire house would look like and also trying to make a full game experience as well.

This game takes place between Quest for Glory 2 and Quest for Glory 3 during the three months that the hero is in Shapeir. You are a newly initiated wizard in WIT and decide it might be a good idea to check in with your sponsor, Erasmus. You contact Aziza in Shapeir asking if she can help you contact him. She uses her magic in an attempt to make contact with Erasmus but is unsuccessful over many days. Thinking this is highly unusual, she agrees to send you on a quest to find out why he isn't answering her magical calls. She casts a spell creating a portal in front the Erasmus' house using a great deal on magic and your quest begins.

Artwork in the game has been created by a handful of wonderful creators including Deivore, Dan Beeston, and Ryan Slattery (Slattstudio), in addition to myself. Some of the assets come from the original Quest for Glory games by Sierra Online.

The game itself was created using SCI Companion using the SCI0 engine (the same engine used to run the original Quest for Glory EGA game). The demo version is being created for the DOSemeber 2025 Game Jam and a final version is being planned for 2026.

To get the game working, simply download it, extract it, and run "run.bat" to play it via the included version of DOSBOX-X. If you wish to run it on a DOS machine or another emulator, simply run SCIV.exe on the machine. The default sound driver should support the major sound cards, but please let me know if you run into any problems.
