The Town Dragon impressed me as a game written by someone who cared about his story but didn't have much skill with prose or with Inform. This doesn't make for a great product by any means, but I enjoyed it a tiny bit more than the last game I played (Zero Sum Game) a piece with good writing and coding but a very cold heart. With an improvement in prose quality and code, this game could be enhanced into a fair example of standard fantasy IF. I could see that potential, and it helped to mitigate the game's other disappointments.

There is a dragon in town, and it's your job to rescue the mayor's daughter from them.
This game has more of an open-world feel, with many challenges that can be completed in any order, and a slowly unveiling realization of what's going on.
The problem, though, is that only a small slice of that open world has been implemented, making it very easy to do the wrong thing due to lack of guidance. It also has a really, really big maze that can be hard.
Interesting concept, and fun to play with a walkthrough.
