Infamous Quests is an indie video game development company that produces point and click adventure games. It was founded in 2012 by Steven Alexander and Shawn Mills who previously founded Infamous Adventures, an amateur game development company that remakes old Sierra Entertainment adventure games of the early 1990s. The two chose to form Infamous Quests in order to separate it from their freeware company and in 2012 they announced Quest for Infamy, an adventure RPG made with Adventure Game Studio where the player assumes the role of the morally gray Mr. Roehm.[1] The developers raised $63,281 on Kickstarter to produce Quest For Infamy,[2][3] and in June 2014 the game made Time Magazine's 20 Video Games To Watch for Summer 2014 list.[4][5]
Quest for Infamy was released in 2014 and in March 2015 the company announced two new game titles, Order of the Thorne: The King's Challenge, a point and click adventure game that is the first in a planned anthology series of games, and a prequel to Quest for Infamy, titled Quest for Infamy: Roehm to Ruin.[6]
