— Videogame Heroines ABC Round 2 —
Noelle is the last cursed daughter of the unfortunate Dragonhim, the shape shifting dragon folk from “Veil of Tears” burdened with watching over a humanity that fears and hates them.
The game is very narrative driven, as we control Noelle through the different important steps of her life. Each period used different, fully developed gameplay mechanics, making the game quite hard to describe : it goes from busy open world town exploration to flying arcade shooting to real-time strategy management depending on the beats of the story. As such, the development cost was huge and the game barely met its needs by selling over 2 million units over 4 years.
A sequel has been hinted at thanks to popular and critical success, even though the first episode ends with the tragic bittersweet fate of Noelle, but the economic realities of today make such a project very difficult to go forward with.
