Dragon’s Tear – Official Trailer
Inspired by classic JRPGs, Dragon’s Tear sees you assemble a party from a variety of lovable adventures, explore their skill trees and equip them with the best gear possible, before sending them down through 100 handcrafted dungeon levels. Each new floor brings another challenge, another place to hunt for monster Tears, and another step in your search for the Dragon’s Tear.
The monsters you defeat during your adventure leave behind Tears, powerful relics that allow your party to use the enemy’s strengths against them, letting you burn them, slow them, or break through their defenses. Equip one Tear per party member – duplicate Tears can be taken back to the inn to unlock higher ranks. Choose who carries each power and keep hunting for the next one.
Each floor you clear will become a source of revenue. Join them on their adventures to the darkest depths, or send them on Auto Runs to gather gold and materials while you’re away, for up to 8 hours of progress while the game is closed.
Developed by LilChill Games, Dragon’s Tear is the latest publishing project from the recently-launched Pythia Games, publisher of Hearth and Hamlet. Alongside Dragon’s Tear, the publisher has a range of titles in the works, more details of which can be found via their website.

About LilChill Games
Hi, I’m Kamil. LilChill Games is just me. I make little idle RPGs. I’m working on Dragon’s Tear now. You get to send three adventurers down a hundred dungeon floors. I gave them a warm inn to come home to. It seemed fair.
