I need a way to export a game in Quest as either an HTML or and EXE file. I know that you can do that in Squiffy but I don't know how to code so Quest is more appealing for me. Is there any way to export my Quest game as HTML or EXE?

Quest doesn't publish as HTML or exe.

Helpful link for context, too: http://textadventures.co.uk/forum/questkit/topic/okt-bukpue6vegu1cmymxw/quest-player

Do Quest games have to be played through this website? I know it doesn't go through .exe or HTML but is there any way to play it or publish it elsewhere?

You can publish a .quest file anywhere, and it can be played by anyone who has Quest installed.

You can also install the backend on your own server, essentially giving you your own copy of this site to host your games on; but I think this is neither well-documented nor tested, and can be hard to get working.

I think to publish a Quest made game on your own website, you need to know html, and/or ASL/aslx. I heard it's possible with JavaScript, but only KV has figured out how to do simple games with it, and that's just QuestKit, not his own website.
