The islands beyond the cloud

On a storm-swept archipelago, flight beacons keep the returning crews clear of the cliffs. One has gone dark. You set out with two tools, an incomplete wind record, and a choice about who gets to return with you.

A dragon is watching. It has its own reasons for taking flight, its own way of reading a signal, and the freedom to leave. Trust comes from what you do when a plan becomes difficult: make a crossing safe, help another traveler, keep a promised light steady, or find a shared language in the wind.

Two ways into the experience

Flight Trial follows your decisions through a dangerous mission. You choose equipment, a route, a rescue response, a dragon signal, beacon work, and a return. The outcome explains the mission and the dragon’s decision separately.

Dragon Match offers a quick affinity suggestion through eight original questions. It is a first introduction. Your trial choices decide whether an encounter becomes a bond.

Four companions, four perspectives

Rill reads the sea wind. Bracken watches the last traveler through the reeds. Mica tests preparation above the warm rocks. Vesper looks for agreement at the wind towers. Meet them in the dragon field guide and collect your own flight notes.

A browser adventure you can return to

The game is free to play and uses guest progress saved in your browser. There is no account requirement or download. The storm advances with your decisions, so you can pause to think. Revisit a decision after a trial to explore a different consequence.
