Notes on "A dragon girl looks up at the endless sky"

This post is to supplement a curation I made on Steam's J-Indie Arcade group.

1) I didn't know what genre to call it so I called it "hybrid action RPG". It seems to be like two different kinds of action RPG though - dungeon room type stuff (e.g. like Recettear) and also 2D hack-and-slash type (e.g. like Odin Sphere)

2) The developers are Debonosu - I assume they still count as indie... well, I had a look at their site http://www.debonosu.jp/ and there's a banner flashing past mentioning Comiket 90, so I am guessing they are still on the circuit. According to https://vndb.org/p709 they have an imprint for another game.

3) According to VNDB: https://vndb.org/v3988/releases
The original version of this game was 18+ and was released on PC in 2010. The PSP version is 17+ and was released in 2013, and included additional characters and scenes. So this is based on the PSP version.

4) Their other game on Steam - Kagura Douchuuki - was originally an 18+ game (all about raping miko - I am not going to post details but if you want, you can read about it here), but when it came out on Steam, they'd removed all that and it became a 12+ version. So there is no knowing whether anything further has been censored in the game's transformation from "Sora o Aogite Kumo Takaku" (17+ PSP version) to "A dragon girl looks up at the endless sky". Possibly nothing? Possibly much?
