About This Game

What if you didn't have to slay dragons—but persuade them?

Enter Sahkuru.

You wake up each morning trapped in your own personal hell: commute, office job, go home, repeat.

Until... a real, actual dragon starts talking to you?! Lucky you! 

Or so it seems... 

Because next, reality kind of starts to unravel. You gain access to the mysterious "Dragon Realm," uncover the legend of the Nine Dragon Souls, and—most disconcertingly of all—discover that an unseen apocalypse is already underway? 

Unless you can help the Dragon Souls confront the shadows within themselves...

...the world will end.

Or hey, maybe you're just losing your mind. That's always on the table, too. 

The question remains:

Which would be worse?

Conversations become combat.

Dragon Soul: Awakening transforms dialogue into its core gameplay. Raaawr. 

Instead of defeating enemies through violence, you'll engage in fast-paced psychological battles where every response matters. Read your opponent. Understand what lies beneath their defenses. And break through their Mask before their Patience runs out.

In the Dragon Realm... weapons cannot save you. 

Only understanding can. 

Your choices shape both the story—and the battles.

Will you embrace your inner dragon? 

Every decision influences relationships, dialogue, social stats, how bosses behave... and even your experience of reality itself. 

Forge your Soul Bonds.

Cultivate your Sovereignty, Authenticity, and Empathy.

Align with hidden timelines. 

Awaken the Dragon Souls.

...or watch fear slowly consume Sahkuru.

Live. Choose. Grow. Reflect. Integrate. Repeat.

Time is fluid... 

Experience everyday life one day at a time through a calendar-based progression system inspired by classic social simulation RPGs.

Life doesn't just stop because the world is ending... does it?

Spend your days working, exploring the city, cultivating your personal skizz-illz, building Soul Bond relationships, or venturing into the Dragon Realm.

And—if you're awake enough—maybe even learn to channel the flow of time itself!

Every loop brings you one step closer to understanding others, the nature of reality... 

...And yourself.

Are you awakening...

...or losing your mind?

"Why hello there! You came all the way down here just to meet me?

I'm honored... but not surprised. 

We've been waiting for you, you know. 

If you'd like to know why... 

Come find me beyond Fourth Wall."
