Spiritual Sequel to the famed Ruby Quest, drawn/written by the same author, Weaver. Nan Quest is the story of Nan, a goat. Links to the threads can be found here.Nan has the ability to hum showtunes. She is a repairwoman, and today she is doing some jobs. One in an arcade, and one in a hotel.In the arcade, she fixes a fusebox, gets a check for her services, and some free pizza from the owner.She then bikes off to the hotel with her pizza, where she is to fix a broken outlet. In the hotel... Well..Now has a character sheet that Needs More Love.
This game provides examples of:
Above Good and Evil: Santiago embraces this so much that some readers suspect he is trying to assure himself of this.
Aerith and Bob: Nan is apparently the only one around with an animal-oriented name, while most everyone else has Spanish or English oriented ones. (depending on what time they entered the hotel)
Flashback: First, to what looks like Anna in an elevator shaft she worked on in the past and second, to 1828, at the Spanish mission before the hotel existed.
Future Me Scares Me: Averted. Nan's future self is exactly the same as her, only wearing a cloth around her mouth, and Lorenzo has not met The Pilgrim.
On the other hand, what's going on behind Nan's future self scare the piss out of past Nan.
"If you insist on bringing light to the darkness, realize you won't always like what you find Some things are better left in the dark, Nan Some things should never be brought to light"
Mythology Gag: Early on, the adventure narration casually mentions that "It's another fine day here in the Glen." Fans of Ruby Quest freaked out just as Nan walked outside and revealed... that she lives in Cedar Glen Apartments.
Never The Selves Shall Meet: Subverted. Nan sees her future self about to be attacked by a monster, and slams the door on her. Later in the story, Nan gets the door slammed on her by her past self. Cue Oh Crap moment.
Room Full of Crazy/ Mad Artist: There is a room full of stretched canvases covered in what looks like blood with shapes similar to the main characters.
Sinister Minister: The Padre; a nightmarish, Implacable Man Spanish priest. He might not have always been like that, though...
Shoutout: One of the monsters from early in the game looks an awful lot like Stitches mutated form.
