Walker's Quest - a solo journaling RPG

Made for the KiwiRPG Game Jame May 2025, with the theme of 'hīkoi'. This project is available for free, but you may koha if you wish.

In Walker's Quest, the steps you take in real life directly influence the progress of a person in another world. A person who is on a dangerous mission, who needs all the help they can get.

By doing this one relatively easy thing in your life, you will help them over the line with their life-or-death goal.

Walker's Quest is like The Neverending Story meets a pedometer idle Tamagotchi-style game, but one you play with pen and paper.

You will need the following:

- a goal in mind e.g. a certain metric to be achieved each day such as a step count, distance walked, words written, pages revised, fluids drunk, push-ups or sit-ups performed. Anything that's discreet and achievable on a daily basis.

- a journal to record your game, such as pen and paper, or digital document

- a six-sided dice

- half an hour at the end of each day to write your journal entries

You will also need a way to measure your steps if you wish to play Walker's Quest in the original intended manner as a pedometer game. If this, or the act of stepping itself, is difficult, then please consider a different metric to level up your Walker e.g. total words written per day, or pages read of books, or any other small, repetitive metric that matches a goal you wish to meet during the game.
