***Princess Quest*** (プリンセスクエスト, *Purinsesu Kuesuto*) is a Japanese video game published in 1998 for the [Sega Saturn](/source/Sega_Saturn) system. It was subsequently ported to [PC](/source/Personal_computer) under the title *Princess Quest R* (プリンセスクエストR, *Purinsesu Kuesuto R*).

The story is set in the Dharma Kingdom, and involves the theft of a jewel. Clues must be sought after in dungeons, castles, and towns, until the true culprit is found.[1]

## Development

The game was illustrated by [Sugiyama Genshō](/source/Sugiyama_Gensh%C5%8D).[citation needed] It was based on a 1996 [audio drama](/source/Audio_drama) of the same name.[citation needed] The game was developed by [AIC Spirits](/source/Anime_International_Company) and Increment P Corp.[citation needed]

## Gameplay

*Princess Quest* is an action role playing game.[1]

While the gameplay can be described as a classic turn-based [role-playing video game](/source/Role-playing_video_game), the main focus of the game is on interacting with the non-player characters and discovering what they are up to.

*Princess Quest* features several short [anime](/source/Anime) video clips, as well as spoken dialog (in Japanese) throughout the game.

## Story

Five princesses from surrounding kingdoms are visiting [Granmalnie](/source/Grand_Marnier) Castle (グランマルニエ城), but young Prince Tapioca isn't showing much interest. Meanwhile, someone makes off with a valuable item. Queen Madeleine hires a young swordsman named Willow to investigate the theft. Willow is joined by Pal (パル), a magical creature who transforms Willow into a girl, named Will. Using this disguise, Willow tries to gain the trust of the princesses, in hopes of determining who is responsible for the theft.[2]
