A dark 8-bit sci-fi fairy tale about a girl and a dragon by Orebody
Drakenmaid is an 8-bit sci-fi fairy tale about a girl and a dragon for the NES.
The game purposefully does not feature any in-game dialogue or diegetic text and tries to tell a story purely through visuals and game mechanics.
This current demo, providing a taste of basic mechanics and the general structure of the story, was developed during and for the NESMaker Byte-Off VI competition in March 2026. A much longer, extended version of the game is now in development.
