Wayforward Announces Apple Watch Exclusive Watch Quest
Wayforward is getting in on the Apple Watch video game platform early with Watch Quest.
The game uses the Apple Watch's screen as well as the iPhone for gameplay. The players' kingdom is housed on the iPhone while the bulk of the action happens on the Apple Watch's screen where you battle, solve puzzles, and track down treasure. It's a free-to-start model game where additional campaigns and characters must be purchased after completing the included free training quest.
The game is an Apple Watch exclusive and launches alongside the device on April 24. You can read more about the Apple Watch here and more about the game on Wayforward's website.

Our Take
It's very hard to make a judgment call on the game based on the few screens above and description, but this is a smart move for Wayforward. New Apple Watch owners are goingto be eager to try out something on their new hardware, and this will be the first stop for many.
