Dad Quest is a 2D platformer RPG developed by Sundae Month and released in 2017 for PC. Set in an absurdist world where children are indestructible, the game casts the player as a father — male or female — who raises a child and uses them as a weapon against enemies. Combat involves hurling the child at foes while teaching them new skills through an assortment of deadly toys. The complete package spans three chapters of story-driven gameplay built around a comedic adventure premise. The game features pixel art visuals, a retro-style soundtrack, and a cast of characters woven into its world. The central dynamic revolves around the bond between parent and child, framing the relationship as both a narrative focus and a core gameplay mechanic. The tone throughout leans heavily into humor while maintaining a structured progression across its chapters.
