Marvelous has launched the official Japanese website for Little Dragons Cafe, the upcoming simulation game from Bokujou Monogatari creator Yasuhiro Wada co-developed by his studio Toybox Games and Aksys Games, detailing the game’s prologue, story, characters, and adventure.

Get the information below.

■ Prologue

A story once upon a time, in a faraway land.

In the outskirts of the continent, there was an island connected by a small bridge. It was home to a certain small cafe, well known for its delicious meals, and as a place where weary guests were able to rest. It was said to be a wonderful place for passerby travelers to refresh and relax.

The mother who cooked there, and her twin children with who helped spent their days peacefully surrounded by the smiles of their guests.

Then one day, something strange happened. For some unknown reason, the mother wouldn’t wake up. Amidst the confusion of the twins, a strange old man appeared all of a sudden before them.

—“Your mother is half-human, half-dragon. Did you not know that?”



For some reason, this old man seems to know a lot about the situation.

With nothing else to turn to, the twins’ best bet was to rely on the old man. The old man somehow produced a dragon egg from within a shining light.

—“This is a special dragon egg! Helping it hatch is up to you!”



“Come to think of it, I heard that dragon blood runs through your mother’s veins.”

The old man told the twins, “The dragon that will be born from this egg is the key to saving your mother’s life.”

The twins could not quite believe what he said, but it was the only thing they could do but to listen. Convinced by the old man, the first thing they do is prepare a meal and when they are eating, the egg began to crack.

And this is how the adorable dragon who would be key to the story was born. And so began the daily struggles of the twin brother and sister who could do nearly nothing by themselves in order to save their mother.

—Cook various foods and feed them to the dragon, and it will grow into a fine dragon.



■ Story

A heart-warming story told in the cafe of a fantasy world.

   

Many customers of the cafe have troubles and secrets that they cannot be open about to anyone. Very unique customers who may be hard to deal with. As they spend their days at the cafe, their hearts will gradually open.





Your cooking is the key to their troubles and secrets. Solve their troubles with delicious food.
