Project Dew is a narrative-centered, action-puzzle 2D platformer with a unique inventory system, and visual-novel style interludes. It features a futuristic world, forests, oceans, natural disasters, and two aspiring biologists trying to save an endangered species from a doomed fate—the dragons that once thrived on this land, but now is thought to have gone extinct.

The story's two protagonists, Sylvia and Iris, are aspiring behavioral biologists pursuing their PhD degrees. Throughout the story, the narrator switches between the two. Where will this project of theirs lead them? Is there yet hope for recovering dragon kind?
