Side Quest

Side Quest expands the Mythic Quest universe by untethering the narrative from its familiar office setting. The 2025 anthology comedy shifts focus to independent lives, tracing the paths of comic shop owners, musicians and art department staff. By concentrating on these distinct corners of the industry, the series trades workplace dynamics for varied character studies about the pursuit of community and creative fulfillment.

Derek Waters leads a rotating ensemble that treats these four standalone stories with a grounded tone despite the comedic premise. These brief explorations of personal success and romantic uncertainty offer a change of pace from standard serialized comedy conventions. It remains a rare example of a franchise built on gaming culture choosing to examine the fringe workers who keep the creative world turning.
