About This Game

A nail. A pile. A simple task. Find the Golden Nail.
How hard could it be?

QUEST FOR THE GOLDEN NAIL

Quest for the Golden Nail is a physics-driven sandbox about finding one very important thing among far too many ordinary things. No fuss, no fluff, no friends. Just you and way too many nails.

FEATURES

  • Thousands upon thousands upon thousands of nails.
    Pick them up, throw them, drop them, stash them and watch the pile change with each nail moved.

  • One Golden Nail.
    Just one goal. No side quests, no hidden secrets. Just one golden nail. It really is in there. Somewhere.

  • Zero excuses.
    Just you and a pile of nails. No belts, no bolts, no buddies. No rush.

  • A tactile physics sandbox.
    Every nail is part of the pile. Every action changes it. One nail at a time.

  • Increasingly unreasonable piles.
    Search with your hands and your soul. Finish one pile, then unlock bigger ones. Apparently, that counts as progress.

  • Sort. Order. Or not.
    Carefully pick up, inspect and sort each nail. Or wildly throw them about. Your choice, your pile.

  • A journey of discovery.
    The deeper you go, the more nails you will find. What do you think that means?

  • One very simple objective.
    Find the Golden Nail. I think we covered this.

Now go and nail it!
