The premise revolves around [[FeaturelessProtagonist You, the player]] and the 8bit [[EasternRPG RPG]] ''Ultimate Quest''. Back when you played the game, you made some [[VideoGameCrueltyPotential questionable decisions]], were just not very good at the game in general, and haven't touched the game in a long time, and the characters both miss you and resent how much you screwed them up so much that they managed to [[TrappedInTVLand suck you into the world of the game]] to see you again... [[HilarityEnsues Hilarity]], [[RomanceEnsues romance]], meta video game humor, {{Fanservice}}, and plenty of bawdy jokes ensue.
