Summerwind, a highly anticipated retro throwback RPG, has been meticulously crafted over more than a decade by a dedicated single developer. This labor of love is poised to enchant mobile gamers very soon after a period of anticipation.

Set in a captivating fantasy realm, Summerwind follows the journey of a young woman named Ivi, who possesses the unique ability to tame monsters. Accompanied by her loyal dinosaur companion, Ivi embarks on an epic quest to delve into the depths of a mysterious dungeon. Her mission: to halt a magical storm that poses a dire threat to her home and the entire world.

True to its retro roots, Summerwind embraces the nostalgic feel, visuals, and gameplay mechanics of classic RPGs. Players will engage in challenging turn-based battles against a variety of fierce creatures as they navigate the labyrinthine dungeon.
