The Bizarre Quest for the Thingamajig

The Bizarre Quest for the Thingamajig (TBQT) is a four-player couch co-op adventure game that I originally made for my family. However, I also want to make it publically available. In this "tragic story", you embark on a bizarre quest across great distances, alongside three other players, to recover a stolen and mysterious object.

TBQT supports input from keyboards and most gamepads.

Joining the game

In order to join the game and assume control of one of the four available characters, it is enough to simply press any button on your keyboard or gamepad and pick a character in the character selection screen, which becomes available when a new player joins.

• Thor cannot perform long-range attacks
• Thor is the only player capable of continuing the dialog in cutscenes. However, NPC dialogs can be continued by the player that started it
