"Now, you only have two options: be scrapped, or take Quest 89!"
Season 1 is the first season of Quest 89. It was originally going to be called Season 1 - Commencement, but is now just Season 1 or Quest 89.
Remastering
Nick confirmed he would be remastering the first season by rewriting the episodes with actual scripts this time around, recording better quality of footage, and just putting in more effort in general.
