Spike's Mundane Adventures Trilogy by horror_and_oates

Spike's Mundane Adventures is a trilogy of fetch quest adventure games created by horror_and_oates — also known as sonicboy112 — presenting the rare moments when the bravest, most glorious dragon... gets a day off from Twilight.
The series consists of three games:
  1. Spike's Day Off
  2. Spike's Day Out
  3. Spike's Time Off
During these rare breaks from helping Twilight, we see the mundane adventures Spike embarks upon during his free time, such as:
  • Getting a hot dog for a friend
  • Getting a gift for Twilight
  • Saving Trixie from homelessness and starvation and securing her a roof under her head
  • Going on a quest of discovering his place in the world and where he belongs
  • Wait wha—WIND THAT BACK—
Just an average weekend, really.
The series follows Spike during his days off from helping Twilight and displays his inability to get any real time off as he constantly takes it upon himself to solve the problems of pony kind on his own (you see, he is not solving Twilight's problems, so it's totally different). These tasks seem simple initially but end up taking Spike on increasingly wackier adventures from a cast of familiar ponies who resemble Looney Tunes characters more and more as the story develops.
It is amidst this that the foundation for some remarkably touchy moments is laid upon, with each installment building up to strikingly touching moments like the bonding between Spike and Trixie over the efforts of making ends meet and Spike's journey to discover his place amongst pony kind or dragon kind.
The series is relatively linear with very light puzzles, which makes for a relaxing experience combined with the serene soundtrack plus the lovely chibi and chubby artstyle.
If you wanna take a look at the games without playing, we also have full playthroughs on our youtube channel for each of them.
Itty-bitty fun fact: when Spike's Time Off originally came out, another writer all those years ago already was making a post about it which simply never got published. That is odd isn't it? Why go through all that effort and not publish it? I opened it up and the beginning was great, but the reason became clear as I scrolled further on down...
They might have bit off a bit more than they could chew, considering this game is over an hour long...
