History VideoGame / PowerQuest

* AmbiguousGender: The protagonist is never referred to with gender-specific pronouns, instead just being referred to as "you". Also, the only sprite of the protagonist is the tiny one on the overworld map, which barely has enough detail to show their eyes let alone anything to indicate gender. The story does seem to imply you are a boy given [[DoesNotLikeMen Ann]] immediately not liking you, though this could also be chalked up to you being a girl who is best friends with a boy.

The game's story mode follows [[ThisLoserisYou you]], the [[FeaturelessProtagonist nameless, faceless]], [[AmbiguousGender genderless]] protagonist on your quest to become the very best modeler in the country. Modeling is not [[AmericasNextTopModel that kind of modeling]]. It's essentially modifying and competing with models, which are little 10 centimeter tall robots with amazing fighting skills that surpass what a human would be capable of.
