Hank's Quest: Victim of Society

Hank's Quest: Victim of Society is a puzzle game, developed and published by Femo Duo Entertainment. It was released worldwide in 2002 and runs on the DOS platform. The protagonist of the game is a lonely teenager, Hank who lives in the shadow of his popular younger brother, Paul. Hank’s mother is worried about his lack of social skills and constantly nudges him to make new friends. To please his mother, Hank decides to throw a party at his house which would give him a chance to meet new people and get him an entry into the cool kids club. Hank needs to make this party fun and entertaining to impress the people he wants to befriend. Being a geek, Hank’s idea of a fun party is having a bunch of puzzles to solve. The puzzles start off as being quite simple to solve but become a little more complicated as the game progresses. The task is often to find hidden objects in the room or a scavenger hunt through the house. The game is command-based and can be played using the keyboard.
One major drawback of Hank's Quest is the very basic text parser which is not able to recognize many of the simple commands, and hence they need to be often paraphrased to be accepted. The interface is quite interactive and there are many quirky comebacks that greatly add to the entertainment value of the game. Despite the simple gameplay, Hank’s quest is quite entertaining and especially appealing to teenagers having a difficult time bonding with their peers.
