9''John Quest'' is a spawn of another generic ''Roleplay/{{Ruby|Quest}}'' discussion thread which had gotten hijacked by Creator/{{Weaver}}; whom unexpectedly sets up a Ruby Quest mini-game starring Tom's twin brother, John, set in his office. The story quickly descends into complete insanity, becoming even more of a MindScrew than the ''Roleplay/RubyQuest'' even as it references the original quest.
10
11Bad spelling, grammar, continuity, and strange occurrences abound as John goes through a not-so-normal workday, with cameos from the main ''Roleplay/RubyQuest''.

18!!Tropes presented by this GaidenGame
19
20* AllJustADream: More than likely.
21* AlwaysIdenticalTwins: John can only be told apart from Tom because he still has two eyes, and Tom had lost one by this point.
22%%* AnachronicOrder
23* {{Anticlimax}}: '''''[[{{Eyedscreen}} BUTTAN PUSHED!!]]''''' [[spoiler:The air condition turns off...]]
24* BrickJoke: John shouts a stream of profanities into an intercom at one point, then eats said intercom. In the final stage of the main story, Tom attempts to use an intercom, not expecting a response...and is greeted with a sudden wave of obscenities, followed by a loud crunch.
25* ContinuityNod: There are multiple nods to ''Roleplay/RubyQuest''. John sees Ruby on the other side of his window, and he is shown as the face on the other side (who, in the main quest, turned out to be Filbert), his attempt to contact her with the ORB OF INFINITE PSYCHE cause her forehead to glow with power ([[spoiler:where her ThirdEye (that she didn't yet have in that image) was]]), Opal ends up looking like the Hound Zombie, he falls through the rift in the Brig, and when Tom turns on the intercom in the main quest, he hears John's profanities.
26* TheCameo: Ruby from ''Roleplay/RubyQuest'' appears on the other side of John's window.
27* CharacterTitle: Protagonist is John, quest is John Quest.
28* ClusterFBomb: John shouts obscenities into the intercom.
29* {{Homage}}: The game is essentially a spoof of the FanFic ''Fanfic/HalfLifeFullLifeConsequences''[[note]]such as it starring John, who is Tom's brother; the poor examples of grammar and spelling; etc.[[/note]].
30* MistakenIdentity: John is confused with his brother many times, by [[{{Troll}} Weaver]] more than anyone else.
31* {{Railroading}}: Weaver suddenly changes John's size several times so the players cannot get what they want.
32* RougeAnglesOfSatin: Several times.
