Investigate rumours of a dragon, find buried history, July 6, 2026

Entertaining choice-based fantasy game, fairly short and very easy. You hear rumours of a dragon, and delve into a cave to investigate it-- or not, you can just choose to give up, apparently.

Choices in this story are often more about how you change yourself (e.g., how you interpret some information, or your opinion of something, etc.) than about what you do to the world. There are some stats, but they seemed to matter very little on my first playthrough-- not something to actively think about while playing. Most treasures you collect do not matter, and you take from the world much more than you sacrifice to it. The true reward of the story, I think, comes from discovering the history of the place, and the environmental storytelling is as good as it can get in a textual format.

If you visit certain locations or interact with certain objects, you can save your progress in three slots. This is interesting because at one point, I wanted to backtrack a little to save my progress at such a location, and on the way discovered that revisiting locations may open up new possibilities.

To me, this is a nice work; and I recommend it. Lots of very neat ideas, interesting locations, and many open questions at the end.

I got the ending #14/15: (Spoiler - click to show)Dragon Knight
