Save Yourself Quest is the first quest by Knit-i-Fine. It is a horror based survival quest that draws inspiration from modern horror tabletop games and popular quests. In Save Yourself quest the reader is tasked with guiding character's with unstable humours (which control their mental and physical stability) through an eldritch location that takes the place of an externally simple but internally complicated cabin in the woods. Save Yourself Quest is written mostly in second person.

Humours

Save Yourself Quest's main interactive mechanic are four humour meters, representing an earlier understanding of medicine called humourism. When these humours are out of an individual characters balancing point the character has a tendency to act eratic, and whenever a humour maxes out a character enters a crisis where their actions are unpredictable.

Save Yourself Quest uses a simple and arbitrary inventory system of "what can this character carry?" with the inventory screen showing items held in the right and left hands, and kept in the right or left pocket.
