a Dragon's reQuest
A downloadable game
This is a game I took WAY too long to publish.
a Dragon's reQuest is nominally a classic-styled retro JRPG with a few modern bells and whistles: Character talkie-pictures, exhaustive character dialog, DEEPLY investigatable background maps, difficult subject matter, mature character relationships that occasionally get sexual, spicy subject matter, bunny suits, and-
Well, it comes with a list of trigger warnings for subjects discussed in-game; you're welcome to peruse that.
DreQ is also an adult game.
Not because it serves as a bridge between connected erotic scenes (no matter what the content warnings list might imply) but because it's a story about adults who get into adventuring a little late in life because they believe themselves unprepared or somehow unworthy OF adventure.
The game is also pretty funny, despite taking itself seriously.
And, after 6 years of development, I'm finally ready to say that the game is about overcoming preconceived notions. Not just those other people impose on you, but those we impose upon ourselves.
Live, love, laugh, cry, fall down, get frustrated, get laid, recruit 30 succubusses, get killed, get cancer, discover secrets and walk across a continent with the princesses of a Dragon's reQuest.
Maybe you'll discover some secrets about yourself in the process.
I certainly did.

I need help, I don't know how to recruit the last two succubi from the Lily prison.
Cool game (maybe?). Before I try, is it females ONLY? As in, lesbian only? Is there ANY straight content?
There are straight people, but none of them particularly matter.
The Kings of Cypress & Corundum maybe? They're pretty much the only important male characters I can think of that MIGHT be straight? Any other male characters, it's not clear or really relevant to the story. I think a npc near the spider queen's tower expresses minor interest in her, so impressed with her thread making skills, he was considering asking her to marry him only for Garnet to let him down easy, telling him that he wasn't her type. For female characters, I'm not sure. It's not obvious for many of the not focused on female characters, though most of the ones that receive any amount of focus are gay, bi, pan or queer in some way. Gender is also not obvious or important regarding several npcs. Nonbinary, maybe? For important heterosexual relationships, the only ones I can think of right now are Garnet's parents. Garnet's mom was highly sought after by many before her marriage and her sexuality isn't obvious. Same with the maid Gauche.
A running joke is that all of the monsters look like girls and most of those monster girls are interested in Hinoki and Co and each other, though others aren't concerned regarding the gender of the humans they're after regardless.
The main playable characters are all female, and are lesbians as far as I know. Also there is incest between certain playable princesses that are cousins. This is tagged in the content warnings.
I can't find the Dryad or Elemental camps :/
I'm not sure about the Elemental camp, but you find out about the Dryad camp from asking around at the yurt, which you discover by asking around at the farm by the lighthouse. The Dryad camp itself is in the forest to the upper right of Castle Corundum and left of the security checkpoint. It's a leafy stalk formation in said forest.
DreQ is one of my favorite games. Although I feel like all the Large Battleship games make that list. The writing in these games never ceases to amaze and capture me completely. From big story moments to interacting with random items, each bit of dialogue always adds to the characters and the experience as a whole. DreQ always throws something unexpected at the player and it always had me excited to see what would come next.
I've been a supporter on patreon for a long time and have never been disappointed. Looking forward to Alouette's full release as well as the newer projects. Keep up the good work as always!
I played this prior to its official release, and I found it to be an excellent and eminently enjoyable RPG that exemplifies the many admirable signatures of Large Battleship Studios. New players should be prepared to laugh, cry, and reexamine the human experience in equal measure - and not to be surprised if it's all within the span of a single conversation instigated by idly examining a shelf or coffee table. This may very well be the best-written cast and most poignant story of adventure of 2024!
