Quests

**Quests** are tasks that Andreas Maler can undertake in order to bring him closer to solving the mystery of Tassing and the dark secrets of Kiersau Abbey.

During the game, the player needs to always keep in mind that time advances and you'll **never** be able to complete every single quest, much less gather all evidence.

As such, there is no *right* or *wrong* choice when it comes to identifying the killer. Therefore, the player has the following choices:

* Selecting the person they think is *likely* the killer,
* Imparting an improvised justice, taking out the person who *deserves* to face the gallows
* Let the fates decide and bungle every quest.

Notably, the various quests Andreas undertakes are spread out over 25 years.
