World of Anterra quests are part of a non-linear story in a handcrafted open-world RPG. The official Steam description says you uncover Anterra's mysteries by asking questions, interacting with the environment, reading books, and exploring the world. It does not publish a list of named quests, objectives, rewards, or completion steps.

What the official description connects to quests

  • Discovery through conversation and investigation. Asking questions and interacting with the environment are presented as ways to learn about the world and its mysteries.
  • Reading and exploration. Books and exploration are called out as sources of information about Anterra's history, magic, and ancient races.
  • Places worth investigating. The description mentions sneaking into crypts, caves, and houses, and finding secrets in containers or behind breakable objects. These are exploration examples, not confirmed quest objectives.
  • A non-linear structure. The store text explicitly describes both the story and quests as non-linear, indicating that the narrative is not presented as one strict sequence.

What is missing from the published quest information

The official description does not name individual quests, identify quest givers, list objective steps, or explain rewards and completion conditions. Any specific quest walkthrough would therefore need a separate official source. What the description does establish is the design intent: quests are tied to open-ended investigation and a non-linear story rather than a published checklist.

A practical way to approach quest content

A practical reading of the announced design is to prioritize talking to characters, reading in-game books, checking containers, and exploring buildings and caves. Those actions match the discovery methods the description highlights. This is an inference from the stated design, not a documented quest route, and it does not guarantee that every interaction starts a quest.
