Aksys Games Announces Little Dragons Cafe by Harvest Moon Creator

This week, Aksys Games and Harvest Moon creator Yasuhiro Wada announced an adorable title known as Little Dragons Cafe, in which players raise their own baby dragons and manage a cat cafe-style setting, for worldwide release on Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4.

From cooking to parenting, the game challenges players to learn patience, strategy and even basic business practices as they take on the roles of two twins who must take care of their mother’s cafe after she falls into a mysterious coma. In order to wake her, the twins must also raise a dragon, though it’s no super clear how the dragon will help.

Aksys released a short description of the game, along with teasers for its primary features:

All was peaceful and routine until one morning when the twins discover that their mother has fallen into a deep sleep and won’t wake up. Suddenly, a strange old man appears to inform them that they must raise a dragon in order to save her. Working together with three quirky café employees, the two siblings must figure out how to a wrangle a dragon and manage the family business while finding a way to save their mother.
