Unsure of where his missing trousers could be, the aptly named Pants Quest officially begins.Ī short tutorial of sorts keeps Dave in the kitchen fixing breakfast, teaching players the basic controls and actions before letting the protagonist loose in the house to begin his search. Walking into his closet, Dave emerges with socks, boxers, a shirt, and tie, but no pants. He needs to get up and feed Nugget, grab a coffee, and then go to work so he can continue this cycle of mundanity to keep a roof over his head. The muted patter of rain outside and the warm embrace of bed sheets hold him captive for a moment, but Dave knows it is not meant to last. Pants Quest begins with Dave in the middle of a dream involving his cat, Nugget, who then wakes him up with a gentle “murp” right before his alarm is set to go off at 5:00 a.m. While its humour doesn’t always land, and the way things wrap up isn’t overly satisfying, it’s nonetheless a cozy, clever, and well-paced experience about facing your issues like an adult, and how overcoming even the little challenges in a day can be rewarding. It’s this grounded and familiar backdrop that ultimately makes Pants Quest so enjoyable, unique, and relatable. Rather, this game takes place in a small, ordinary house, and all you’ll be searching for is cat food, a warm cup of coffee, and of course, your pants. His adventure isn’t set in a fantastical medieval castle, a haunted mansion, or deep in the Amazon rainforest, and he won’t be looting any ancient artefacts or uncovering the plot of a grand conspiracy. Dave, the protagonist of Ghost Cat Games’ Pants Quest, is starting a day he wishes he didn’t have to. Or perhaps we knew the day ahead was going to be a tumultuous one.
Maybe we were having a particularly nice dream.
We’ve all had one of those days where we just don’t want to get out of bed.
