I really recommend that game, it's a fresh take on the original Quest for Glory games and is really fun to play.

Otherwise for people who prefer games that copy more the Quest for Glory concept, there's:

- Heroine's Quest: The Herald of Ragnarok

- Mage's Initiation

- Quest for Infamy

Those 3 games are also good but honestly Hero-U is just more fun to play and feels fresher, it's just a copy of the old formula.

Yeah, Hero-U is actually a "time management in school setting" game, like Bully or Persona or Fire Emblem: Three Houses.

I tried the Heroine's Quest, but it was just too hard, the puzzles too obtuse for me that I gave up on it.

Gonna check out those last two though, thanks for the tip!

Good description, it is closer to Persona than to QFG... Somehow I never made the connection. I would say there's still some part of QFG in it though and the humor and writing does really feel like the Coles.

And yeah, Heroine's Quest is super hard, the other two are definitely easier.
