A Shift from Farming to Dance

Traditionally, Rune Factory games have revolved around farming mechanics, but Project Dragon takes a different approach. Players will have the option to embody either Subaru or Kaguya, two Earthmates who, instead of farming, employ the art of dance to communicate and engage with their surroundings.

This innovative gameplay mechanic introduces non-combat tools like parasols and drums alongside series staples such as swords. Additionally, players can explore new weapon types like bows and talismans, offering a fresh gaming experience.

The game's setting in Eastern lands with a Japanese-style aesthetic adds depth to the immersive experience. Players can expect a fusion of captivating visuals and cultural elements that enhance the gameplay journey.
