Autumn's Journey

About

Autumn's Journey casts you as Auralee, a farm-town knight-in-training caught up in a quest to restore an earthbound dragon's power. The story follows her uneasy alliance with Kerr, a grumpy dragon who lost his abilities, and Ilmari, a more refined dragonkin with their own agenda. Players navigate dialogue choices, manage resources, and explore a world split between ancient dragons and newer human-like settlers. Combat is turn-based with light strategy while exploration mixes farming sim elements and story-driven quests. The game blends dating sim mechanics with RPG progression and visual novel storytelling. While its 2014 release date means it's showing some age, fans appreciate the slow-burn character dynamics and the unusual mix of genres. The tone balances humor and fantasy politics without taking itself too seriously. Available on multiple platforms including Switch and PC, it offers a relaxed but large adventure for 15-20 hours.
