"Warriors and Dragons" has been an enduring theme of video games.
As early as the 1980s and 1990s, Japanese game manufacturer Enix launched the "Dragon Quest" series of console games known as the "National RPG", and another Japanese game manufacturer followed suit, launching the Dungeons & Dragons series of arcade games.

Although with the development of technology, this early pixel style of video games has been eliminated by the times, but for those elderly emotional parties, the slag quality pixel style can awaken their childhood memories.
One of the script kills that I want to recommend for you today is a work that imitates this early pixel-style video game and inherits the "Brave and Dragon" world view. It is the 15th installment of the "K's Game" series, "Proof of Slaying the Dragon".

Synopsis
The hatred between the Dragon Slayer Kingdom and the Dragon Clan has lasted for generations, and because they are tired of the situation of life and death, the war of blood and fire between the two sides has gradually been reduced to a game around the robbery of the princess: the dragon slayer hero can cross the inheritance of the royal bloodline to become the new king, and the dragon clan will also support the dragon who robbed the princess to become the new leader.
On this day, with the invasion of the dragon and the disappearance of the Princess of the Night Dew, a new group of dragon slayer warriors embarked on a journey. Soon, the news of the discovery of the dragon corpse was returned from the Dragon Wing Mountains, but when the whole country was celebrating, people were surprised to find that there were as many as five warriors who asked for merit.
No one admits to cooperation, and everyone insists that they are the true dragon slayer heroes, which is the worst provocation against the iron law.
Thus, above the royal court, the trial officially began...

Play
Like the rest of the K's Game series, Dragon Slayer is a lightweight, no-vm script kill, and the entire game takes about 2 to 3 hours.
Dragon Slayer's Proof mimics the pixel style and worldview of early arcade games such as Dungeons & Dragons and Dragon Quest, telling a story that takes place in the "Dragon Slayer Kingdom". In the story, 5 different professions of "dragon slayers" fight the dragon in order to save the princess, but everyone claims that they are the ones who will eventually kill the dragon, who is lying?
Therefore, in order to prove that they are the real dragon slaying heroes, 5 players want to open the "happy mutual tearing mode", the old liar possessed, the drama is online. Players need to find holes in each other's testimony and cover up the "dark side" of their own scripts. Of course, there will be a few players who really believe that the dragon died at their own hands, and they need to prove their innocence and convince others to believe in themselves.
Although the script of the 5 characters is short, the content is rich, and together they can form a rich and complete world view. Although the gameplay of the script is mainly to deceive and tear each other apart, requiring players to try to lead the opponent in the wrong direction of reasoning, but in some places also need players to cooperate with each other, because only in this way can everyone figure out what is happening in the dragon cave and find the whereabouts of the princess.
bright spot
"Dragon Slayer's Certificate" has two rounds of clue search, but the clues are not particularly obvious, and the player needs to open his mind to understand the truth of the matter. Although the size of the script is small and the game duration is short, due to the existence of game mechanics that deceive each other, it is very difficult for players to restore the truth in a short period of time simply through clues.
This script has no private chat, it is all public chat, and public chat is the need for players to play freely and talk nonsense. Each player can make up a story through their own script and the clues revealed by others, and can make up their own history, motivation, and even timeline, in short, make sure that everyone recognizes that you are the one who finally killed the dragon.
Of course, if you think that's all there is to the script, you're dead wrong. When the players complete the final vote and open the truth manual, they will most likely find that they have voted for the wrong person, because the true ending given by the author will be a big reversal, and the real dragon slayer, and the truth of the dragon slayer, will surprise everyone.
blemish
Although it should not be too demanding for a novice to kill a light-weight script, "Dragon Slayer's Proof" still has some flaws.
First of all, the size of the script is too small, and it can be completed in 2 to 3 hours, so that the player is not very happy.
Secondly, although the script restores the pixel-style video game as much as possible in terms of packaging and drawing style, there is no reflection in the content. The inner pages of the 5 character scripts all have pixel-style character health bars and six-dimensional ability indexes (life, agility, luck, strength, intelligence, defense), but it seems to be just a decoration or a waste case, and has no effect.
In fact, the setting of this character attribute can be completely changed to the game mechanism of the script, such as adding some confrontation links between players, etc., which can not only enrich the content of the script, but also increase the length of the game. If this game mechanic had been added, the script would have been more popular.
