AHAHAHAHAH I'M GONNA MARRY A DRAGON! WOOO
Ahem- Anyways the story was really cool. I actually enjoyed it. This is the first time I've read a visual novel (I think). I don't like reading without pictures because sometimes I can't keep track of where they are, what time it is, and what the characters look like. I enjoy playing RPG maker games and reading webcomics. I haven't really played visual novel games before, so I decided to try this one out of all the others. It's not very well-known, but I like supporting underrated games that I'm interested in. I was a bit confused in the beginning because I'm new to reading visual novels and to this story, obviously, but after a few minutes, I started to understand the characters and the world they're in. It's really fun to play games like this.
I got the ending where it says "The end" I'm happy for them to be together forever and that LeCroix is ded now lmaooooo
Thank you so much for your comment! It's been a long time since I've made this game, and I haven't revisited it in a while. Looking back now, there are a lot of things I wish I could change, but I'm happy that I at least finished it lol. And I'm also glad that you enjoyed it for what it was, and that I could host your first positive visual novel experience!
If you're still interested in this medium, there are a billion other visual novels out there with much better production value than mine. I highly recommend checking them out. Wishing you the best!
Yeah, about the "This is my first visual novel," I think I remember playing other visual novels, but I didn't realize they were visual novels, lol. However, it's been a long time since I last played, so yeah. I'm now interested, and playing visual novels has become my new hobby. I'm not sure which one was my first visual novel, but I'll just consider this one as my first visual novel that I read in 2024. I really don't have a good memory, hahaha... Right now, I'm currently reading another one called Perihelion, and it's pretty good too. I hope you have a great day :D
i have a problem i actually can't read anything it's like all censured
Hi, thanks for commenting. Unfortunately, I'm not really sure what you mean. Mind elaborating on the issue? Maybe providing a screenshot?
Thanks for the screenshot! The problem is most likely due to an incompatibility between your graphics card and the newer Renpy renderer. To fix this:
1. Press Shift + G. This takes you to the options menu.
2. Click these in the order 1 and 2.
The text in the options menu might still be unreadable when you open it, but when you do this and relaunch the game, it should work. Let me know if you still have problems!
this felt very classic and nice. I enjoyed it, but I have to mention that the font can be tiring to read
Thanks for playing, and I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'll be sure to keep that in mind for next time.
I chose for my character to be a female ( as I am) and for the 'love interest' to also be female. This was not what I found as the game went on. I was introcuded to a prince, supposedly my bethrothed. The game looks interesting so far so I hope that I can still play the more comfortable route for me.
Hi, and thanks for your comment! I can confirm that you'll meet your "official" love interest later in the game, and she should be female if that's what you selected. If you run into any problems later though, please do let me know!
Ah! I didn't see that coming. Thanks for letting me know everything Is all fine.
king... respectively f you , im going off to marry the dragon and you can't stop me! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
anyways :) lovely story.
also i think what could be an interesting twist would be instead of curing mornyr of this supposed curse, i could end up turning 'Myself' into a dragon as well and choose to see it more of a blessing then a curse.
but eh that just the dragon lover in my speak XD.
Thank you for the kind words! Also, that would be an interesting option to consider.

AMAZING JOB DEV
Thank you for the compliment and your video!
Just tried some other options and received the same ending...no wonder. Because I was as nice to the dragon as possible. I'll probably won't receive other endings which are left because my attitude towards dragons prevents me from any offending or bad choices and I just can't be evil. There's probably one more bad "evil" ending as it was in Angels with Scaly Wings which I of coure never received but I still wonder what I need to do to receive "Good Ending Two" if there is one.
And to the author - THANK YOU VERY MUCH, I adore any dragon-centered games and visual novels, there aren't that many of them and you gifted me with happy evening! Whatever you plan to do next, don't stop. I'd be even buying such games if you release more on steam or here.
Thank you for your kind words! If you were curious about the endings, there are actually 3 bad endings and two good ones. The reason why one of them just stated “The End” is because it was the official ending.
So basically that means I've already seen both good endings (Good ending one and The End). And 2 bad ones out of 3 (one super-early bad ending before Chapter one and one when you choose Lightning instead of Sleep which I did because I thought that I haven't been taught Sleep spells). The 3rd bad eding is probably the one where you have to mistreat the dragon and choose all bad answers which is too hard for me to do morally)
Just finished playing through the game, received "Good ending one" and one ending simply stated "The End", also got one preliminary bad ending even before Chapter one by listening to my silly parents and one bad ending in Chapter 5 when trying to hit the guard with the lightning instead of sleep spell. Hmm, seems like there's one more good ending at very least and probably one more bad one?
And I didn't unlock everything in the gallery yet. But really loved the story and the dragon was cute, the game's not long, took me maybe 1,5 hours to complete.
I completed all the endings, well done! This was a great and memorable game. I was waiting patiently for more and I must say it was worth the wait! I wish there were more visual novels about dragons. Some of the scenes brought tears to my eyes, you did very well with the writing and artwork, though I noticed a few minor errors in writing but that did not distract me from the rest of the script. I hope you make more like this in the future!
Thank you so much! This is my first visual novel, so I’m very glad you enjoyed it.
You're welcome! You did a splendid job for your first attempt.
Awesome!
