You Can't Solo A Dragon!
A downloadable visual novel for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Story
For a rogue, a quest with a party requirement is a total nightmare. But when it's being offered by wizards, one cannot refuse such a lucrative opportunity.
A reluctant but necessary party-up leads the trio in search for an unidentified magical object that crash-landed in the Barren Oasis. Will the three be able to work together to complete the quest or die trying?
Influence the story with your strategy during the turn-based combat against various monsters. Lina the Rogue can run in recklessly for the kill but this attracts all the monsters to her. Isaac the Knight is built to take hits, Elyon the Dracologist can hold back the damage, but coordinating their actions requires trust and patience.

Instructions
Download the zip file. Unzip it, then launch the game from the application inside the folder.
Please do not try to save or load during battles or you may experience unpredictable behaviour. The game will warn you when a battle will start so you can save before it starts. You can't save during a battle.
If you choose to skip the battle, the game will act as if you let Lina take too much damage so that she can no longer fight during that battle (and this does affect the story).
Are you going to run in and get yourself killed? That's up to you.

uhh, i think i got stuck on a loop.
like, when i first encoutered the dragon-like creatures i ran, then i faced the flower monster, won, but then when Lina found the egg-like thing it sent me to the dragon-like creatures fight again, and when i won it put me back to the flower monster fight part?????????and i can't get out of this loop help!!!
Hi I made this for Otome Jam last year so I have no idea what's going wrong with my old code. Really sorry!
Only thing I can think to do is to look at your previous/auto saves to see if one of them gets you out of the loop.
I'll try doing the game again!! but thank u :))
This was pretty fun :D I honestly thought I was gonna die on a couple of the battles but I just about managed to make it to the end with everything intact, haha. That's one tough slime at the start xD And the dunebuns are super cute ^-^ I want one as a pet now!
One thing I did wonder is if Lina's class had a typo because I think it might have read 'rouge' but then that could be a class. I just re-read the game page though and noticed it says Lina is a rogue. Maybe it was just my eyes! I'd have to go back and check to be sure. I've got a few typos in my submission that need fixing, haha. Gonna wait until I've had a chance to look over all the text with fresh eyes and try to do it all in one update though cos I was just too tired come the end of the jam to look at it properly >.<
