DRAPLINE

DRAPLINE is a roguelite training game from solo developer Kanawo, in which you raise a food-loving dragon girl — the Divine Dragon — over the course of one year to stop the World's Doom. Her defining trait: she eats anything, from meat and fish to rocks, iron, lava, and other people's houses, converting it all into power. A full run can be completed in roughly one hour, which makes repeated playthroughs and different training strategies practical. Kanawo previously developed Noel the Mortal Fate, released on Steam in May 2018 and ported to Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox in 2022.

Skills and the Catastrophe

A mysterious enemy intends to bring about the end of the world, and it must be fought within the single year you have. Combat is built from over 200 different skills, which can be combined into synergies rather than used in isolation. A build can lean on powerful direct attacks, on defense and healing, or on poison that weakens an enemy gradually. Experimentation is cheap: with an ending reachable in as little as an hour, failed strategies can be discarded and replaced without a long time investment.

The Divine Dragon's Growth and Endings

The Divine Dragon is newly born and pure, so the year shapes not only her strength but her heart. Her appearance and personality change according to how she is raised, who she interacts with, and how her time is spent. Those same decisions branch her future into 25 different endings, and repeated playthroughs of the year progressively reveal the truth behind the calamity. Feeding is the mechanical core and also the risk: she eats anything, and raising her the wrong way has consequences.

Streaming and Monetization

Streaming DRAPLINE is permitted on YouTube, Twitch, NicoNico, X, and other platforms, with no restriction on monetization through platform features such as the YouTube Partner Program or Super Chat. Creators are asked to link to the game's store page in their video descriptions and to avoid illegal content or material that would bother others. The developer, Kanawo, develops games solo.
