Project Dreadsteel

Project Dreadsteel is a stat-driven role-playing visual novel that blends mecha-anime atmosphere with character-focused storytelling, putting players into Janus Mildred's shoes after a personal tragedy. The game asks you to manage relationships and training through a Schedule System that unlocks events, deepens bonds and steers branching story paths; each STAT influences dialogue outcomes and event resolutions while a combat concept is planned for future updates. If you enjoy moral dilemmas, team-building and anime-inspired drama with a diverse cast, Project Dreadsteel offers a narrative-focused experience worth exploring.
