About

Take on the role of a pirate captain as he sets sail to save his greatest treasure of all. Draco and the Seven Scales is a retro-inspired adventure that hearkens back to an age of top-down dungeon crawlers and lovable, crunchy pixel art. Melodic shanties will guide your way through this sprawling world full of dangerous enemies, items to collect, and a dark force that seeks to corrupt. Will you break free from a kraken's dooming bargain, or be another victim?
