A downloadable game for Windows

Submission for The Mighty Jam game jam!

We've all heard the story of the damsel in distress, and the brave hero who rescues her from the fearsome dragon.

This is the exact reversal of that idea.


FEATURES:

  • short, singleplayer game - only a few minutes to play through the story
  • simple gameplay and controls - no expert gaming skills needed
  • completely SFW and family friendly
  • customizable name and pronouns for the Hero

"Dragon in Distress" was made in RPG Maker VX Ace in under 1 week for The Mighty Jam.

Install instructions

For the regular installer, download Dragon in Distress.exe

If you have trouble uncompressing the files from that version, you can try Dragon in Distress.zip instead for a normal zipped folder.

("Dragon in Distress" does not require a copy of RPG Maker to install or play for either download.)

NOTE: I have only tested "Dragon in Distress" on Windows, but if you try it on a different system and it works, please let me know.

Thanks for playing!
