Game Overview

Kouryuu no Mimi is a Japan-only Super Nintendo Entertainment System release from 1995, developed by Koei. It arrived late in the SNES lifecycle, a time when developers were pushing the hardware to its limits with more complex narratives and detailed worlds.

You control a young hero who must communicate with ancient dragons to prevent a catastrophe, navigating the world screen by screen. The core of the game involves making critical dialogue choices during conversations with these dragons; your selections can lock or unlock entire story branches, making each playthrough feel distinct. You explore towns and dungeons, solve environmental puzzles, and manage a relationship system that directly impacts the available quests and endings. The pacing is deliberate, demanding careful thought over quick reflexes, and it creates a unique, personal connection to the story through its consequential decisions.
