Want to give our demo a shot?


Here's a little demo of DRAGONFRUIT: a mother's love.

It is a strategy RPG with the soul of a visual novel. A love letter to character strategy with plenty of scribbles in the margins.

Our story is about a princess named Doria who, inspired by her favorite storybooks, runs away from the castle to strike it out on her own and be a brave hero-princess! However, reality is no storybook, and she is immediately captured and taken for ransom by a clever rogue named Kestrel. The fragile stability of the continent begins to unravel as the Empire seems to want their princess back more dead than alive, invading every neighboring country in the process. Doria will assuredly get her fill of adventure and Kestrel might find a reward more valuable than a princess's ransom.

Doria: "I don't care! If my empire's soldiers are causing trouble, it's my responsibility to put an end to it!"

With themes of conspiracy, adventure, body dysmorphia, societal expectations, generational trauma, and above all else: community and healing through found family, in a world that is anything but stable, there is one truth that is certain:

"You will change, and I'll still love you."

Protagonists Doria and Kestrel hugging. It's cute.

You can play the first three chapters of DRAGONFRUIT: a mother's love... RIGHT NOW. You can play the rest of the chapters a bit later.

It'll take a bit more time than we'd like to finish it, but finish it we will. Feel free to ask us any questions here, and I'll do my best to answer them. I wanted to make the game that I needed to play when I was younger. With any luck, I'll make something that younger self would be proud of.

Thank you.

I notice the use of the Shavian Alphabet... anyway, I'm running Linux on my PC and if you want to test out Steamdeck compatibility I could help there. The Godot Engine supports native Linux/SteamOS.
