IQ Panic

## Description

_IQ Panic_ is a quiz game with a background story. A demon has kidnapped a
girl from a peaceful village, and the elders send a boy named Gengor ō to
bring her back, defeating the demon’s minions using his intelligence and
knowledge. The game has a pseudo-RPG structure, with top-down navigation,
overworld, towns, dungeons, treasure chests, random and boss “battles”, etc.
However, real RPG elements are very light in the game: there is no leveling
up, and the protagonist’s health increases automatically following a plot-
dictated boss encounter.

The core of the gameplay are the trivia “battles” against randomly appearing
characters. Each “enemy” will ask the hero one question in a variety of topics
(English language, geography, popular culture, etc.). Answering the question
correctly within the time limit will “kill” the enemy, while giving a wrong
answer will reduce the hero’s HP by one point. Boss enemies offer a choice of
topics and take several correct answers to defeat. A few items can be used to
restore HP, reduce the time limit, return to a town, etc.
