The story of "Impossible Quest" is characterized by its absurdity and humor, featuring four different storylines with multiple endings that aim to entertain rather than provide depth. While some players appreciate the quirky and irreverent nature of the narratives, others find them uninteresting and lacking substance, often feeling like a chore due to the repetitive nature of the gameplay. Overall, the game is seen as a light-hearted parody of choose-your-own-adventure games, offering laughs but little in terms of intricate storytelling.
“Impossible Quest is a wonderful adventure game that will take you on journeys with unexpected plot twists.”
“In Impossible Quest, there are four different storylines with multiple endings, immersing you in absurd worlds.”
“Each story has various endings that you can unlock.”
“I wasn't expecting anything quite that elaborate in terms of plot or character, but Impossible Quest failed to keep my interest for even half an hour.”
“Most of the choices lead to the termination of the game or a silly response that creates no story at all.”
“The game feels like it was written by a single person with little to no thought put into what would make the story better.”

Gameplay is initially entertaining but quickly devolves into a grind for endings, leading to frustration and a poor gameplay-to-fun ratio. Players may find themselves relying on walkthroughs, as the game lacks innovative mechanics or significant shifts in experience. Overall, while it starts strong, the enjoyment diminishes over time.
“But when I started with the first gameplay, I was seriously surprised how entertaining this game is.”
“The game also has a pretty small gameplay to fun ratio.”
“You're probably gonna have to resort to using a walkthrough (thank god there is one), and the gameplay will just turn into a small grind for endings.”
“There's no indication of any kind of clever surprising game mechanic or paradigm shift, where the game suddenly opens into a bigger, different experience.”
“After a few hours of gameplay, you get a headache, the temperature will rise, and vomiting will begin!”

“I was pretty amused by the different endings, and the music was generally nice.”
“Good music.”
“The game's visual design is very simple, as is the musical accompaniment.”
“The music could be improved; it's a bit repetitive, but since it's a short playtime game, it's not a major issue.”

The graphics of the game are considered subpar, especially for its price point, with players expressing disappointment in the lack of even mediocre visuals and a more engaging storyline. Overall, the game's visual quality does not meet expectations, particularly for those who have paid more than a dollar for it.
“Sure, it is cheap, but I would at least expect some mediocre graphics or a more intricate storyline for paying over $1 for it.”
