The Side Questers

This cozy action-adventure with romantic elements follows Anya, a non-playable character (NPC) in a fantasy role-playing game, as she discovers new details of her origin story that push her into the main questline alongside grumpy Cyrus Blackwood as they work to prove to themselves--and their creators--that they can be heroes too.
