The scroll

The King’s Tree

The game opens on a Persian scroll floating in your room. Pull it open and read how the dragon was cursed.

درخت شاه

Once there was, once there was not. Long ago, a king planted a tree on an island floating between earth and sky. Its fruit held the light of fallen stars. And curative powers. To guard it, the king called on an old friend: a dragon of the sky.

But a demon wanted that light. He could not take the fruits, so he put a curse on the dragon: circle the tree forever, if you leave it you will not be able to move. He hunted the king’s family until the world forgot them. If the dragon leaves, its body knots tighter, and its heart grows angrier.

Only an elixir brewed from the tree’s own fruit can soften the curse, and only patient hands can untie what it has knotted. The demon believed no hands were left to pick the fruit.

But one child of the king’s line survived, and never knew it. The tree remembers you.

Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.

A low-poly painting at night: a floating island, a tree heavy with fruit at its centre, and a long red and violet dragon coiled around its trunk. — The scroll’s painting: the island, the tree and its guardian.

Chapter I

Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.

In your room · Try it here

An island lands beside you

A floating island fades in with the king’s tree at its centre, and the cursed dragon circles it. Apples, a pomegranate, a banana, an orange and a pineapple hang from the branches. Pick them with your own hands.

Cup a hand next to a fruit and turn it to look it over.
Pull the pomegranate apart with both hands.
Peel the banana strip by strip, and pull the orange into wedges.
Chop the pineapple, and catch the worms hiding in the apple.

Tap a fruit on the tree to open it. Every fruit frees a glowing ingredient. Three of them brew the elixir.

The elixir and the knot

Untie the dragon

With three ingredients in orbit, snap your fingers. They dive one by one into the flask, and the elixir pours over the dragon.

Soothed, the dragon settles in front of you, its long body tied in a knot. Pinch any part of it, even with both hands at once, and lift it over or under the rest.

Stall too long and the dragon loses patience: it rears up, roars fire and ties new knots. Undo the last crossing, and it’s free.

Chapter II

هواتو دارم · Havā-tō dāram: I have your back

Full immersion

Fly the night sky

Free at last, the dragon takes you on its back, and your room gives way to the night sky. Hold its horns with both hands and lead it with your arms. Feed it ten fruit: it spits out bananas, a poisoned fruit costs it a heart, and a snap of your fingers breathes fire.
