You play as a young dragon growing from childhood toward maturity in a world set on Earth during the Bronze Age. The story follows life from a non-human perspective, with its own names and ways of understanding the world.
To survive, you hunt through stages of stalking, pursuit, and attack; fight other dragons and creatures; and explore wilderness regions and underground labyrinths. Encounters with animals and other inhabitants reveal more about the world and its many ways of life.
Choices shape your route and the endings you can reach. Time limits mean each run cannot cover every place and encounter; elemental mastery affects available actions, while knowledge and some unlocks can carry between runs. Failure and repeated journeys offer ways to build on what you have learned.
Recurring praise in the supplied reviews focuses on the writing and the unusual dragon’s-eye view of nature, supported by hand-painted scenes and atmospheric music. Many players describe the story as thought-provoking and emotionally affecting. Some reviewers, however, found combat and puzzles difficult to understand, labyrinths frustrating, or repeated runs and time limits burdensome.

The Sun is your Father. The Earth is your Mother. All Beings are your Prey.
Golden Treasure: The Great Green is a hand-painted game about choices, survival, and life as a non-human being. Players take on the role of a dragon and must survive the tender and dangerous years of childhood, forging a path to maturity in the beautiful and deadly world of Earth in the Bronze Age.
To survive, you must hunt prey, fight other dragons for dominance, plunder underground labyrinths for treasures, explore the far corners of the wilderness and, most importantly, grow and learn about the Great Green and its many inhabitants, from birds and beasts to ancient spirits. If you become wise and powerful enough, you may just change the history of our world and the fate of dragonkind.
