Our take on Dragon's Wake
Its defining detail is the wordless coming-of-age structure: a fledgling dragon grows stronger while player choices alter the lives of people encountered along the journey.
What is Dragon's Wake?
Dragon's Wake is a 2D adventure platformer about a fledgling dragon entering an unfamiliar world while a mysterious black knight leads the extermination of dragons.
The dragon discovers wonders and threats firsthand, then grows in strength and power during the journey. The story is told without words, making discovery part of the experience rather than relying on written or spoken explanation. Player decisions and choices can change the lives of people left in the dragon's wake. The game combines platforming progression with a narrative about discovery, growth, courage, and the consequences of actions taken in a world already facing a threat to its dragons.
