Life isn't all that exciting in quiet Border Town for our hero, who spends most days hanging out with his best friend Benjamin. Long expected to take over the mundane life of tending the family inn, our hero wistfully craves a life of adventure. An even bigger burn: Some prophet visited Border Town a long time ago, and foretold that Benjamin would grow into the legendary hero. Talk about living under someone's shadow!

And live under a "Shadow" they did: For stories have increased in recent days of a great dragon of the same name, Shadow, rising up and amassing an empire to take over the land. Monsters have increased in number and strength, and some cities have fallen. It is clear that something isn't quite right.

Back in Border Town, things are peaceful... for now. However, on the eve of the dubious ceremony celebrating our hero's new job, Benjamin goes missing. When the would-be-innkeeper goes to search for him, he gets wrapped up in all the adventure he could have ever dreamed of, as his little journey takes him on a vast quest across the world, to Shadow's doorstep, and beyond.

It is time for the unlikely innkeeper -- and you -- to Begin a New Quest.


This game features a fully new world and new characters but inspired by the Dragon Warrior series for the NES. On the quest, many familiar monsters, spells, equipment, graphics, and music will be encountered -- mixed in with some new creations of my own in all of these departments. The game features:

-30-40 hours of gameplay.
-Some original music and graphics along with many old favourites.
-A huge bestiary of over 300 monsters, each with a Monster Entry for the library at Elderwood hidden somewhere in the game.
-A carefully-balanced mix of open-world exploration and focused linearity.
-Various sidequests including the monster library, the alchemy pot, the lottery, optional dungeons, and more.
-Fully functioning features that any Dragon Warrior fan would expect, including the "Imperial Scrolls of Honour," losing half gold/keeping items and levels upon defeat in battle; individual items carried in battle; Houses of Healing; Outside, Return, Chance, Sacrifice, and Farewell spells; Battle Mechanics that have been carefully tinkered with to strongly feel balanced in the same way that Dragon Warrior games originally were.
-A branching story with multiple endings and substantial postgame material, including bonus characters and a challenge boss.
-A packed-in world map. :)

The link won't let me download the game. It leads me to a page that says "You need access Ask for access, or switch to an account with access. Learn more"
Yeah, I noticed the same issue, too. Since I already played the game back in the day, I have a suggestion for you. You could send an e-mail to assistant math prof Matthew Demers ("Wonderslime", the developer) and describe the problem:

Hey all! I'm so sorry about this issue, it's due to a Google security update. I've now updated the link here, finally, so it should be accessible again.

I really couldn't figure out what the issue was for the longest time and figured it out tonight. I appreciate your patience everyone!

Where do I find Owen? I've looked everywhere and can't find him
Love your game so far, but am stuck: where can I find a rainbow drop in the game?

*Edit: Note to semolous36 You can find owen by bringing the flute to the king's wizard in Velmont. he will have owen come to you in the start. after that i do not yet know.

Edited by Marrend; reason: combined posts
Just curious, does this have party members or is it a solo adventure?
