Older readers and/or Kanye West fans (no matter how many of you are left) you may remember it in 2013 a game called Kanye Quest 3030 exploded in an instantThen, two years later, After a strange hidden area was discovered in the game, it was blown up againmixed with all sorts of obvious links to ARGs and cults.
If you haven’t seen the game, it was basically:
In 2013 called a modest little (unofficial) JRPG Kanye Quest It became a buzz online, largely thanks to its novel premise.
