Tired of games where teenagers save the world?
Dracanea: The Ragtag Regalia is a comedy adventure game where Riker, an ex-teen-hero, now lives life as a fully-grown, slightly washed-up celebrity who longs for the adventure he experienced as a kid.
Ever wondered what happens to all those teen heroes in every fantasy story AFTER they save the day from a world-ending threat? Well, they may grow up, but they never lose their sense of adventure. That's where Riker comes in! And alongside his sharp-tongued partner Eevie, he must rally a crew of oddball heroes to stop the Rebel Army’s plot to conquer the kingdom of Dracanea!
Featuring a cast of grown-up adults, it tells a classic fantasy RPG story through the lens of characters who pay taxes, have relationships, and occasionally experience knee pain. Featuring classic exploration and tool-based puzzles, it lets you crawl through dungeons looking for keys, then switches to turn-based battles with button-input actions that let you power up your attacks instead of just sitting back and mashing the A button for 30 hours straight!

Overview
Dracanea: The Ragtag Regalia takes cues from oldschool 2D RPGs while playfully subverting classic tropes, striking a balance between ridiculous character-driven humor and dramatic storytelling.
After living a grown-up life of mundane luxury, Riker Tierros is called back into action, alongside his better-half Eevie Green, and his best friend Christoph Albus. The King of Dracanea plans to explore outside their kingdom's shores, but a looming rebel movement seeks to thwart the crown's actions for their own nefarious deeds. What nefarious deeds? No one really knows. But they're super evil, that's for sure.

Doggie knights, all of whom are certified good boys (Yes. You can pet them)
Sandwiches
A leotard-wearing egomaniac from another dimension
Jigsaw puzzles that you can put together for prizes
