If you’re a fan of cosy farming sims, get ready to fire up your ovens! Developer Wild Forest Studio and publisher Curve Games have released an exciting new look at Dragon Shelter, giving cosy gamers a deep dive into the magical world’s vibrant cooking and crafting mechanics ahead of its launch on PC on September 24th.
In the latest gameplay trailer, Oleg Babenkov, Game Director at Wild Forest Studio, takes players behind the scenes to demonstrate how crafting and culinary creations are taken to the next level—thanks to your trusty (and occasionally overenthusiastic) dragon companions!
Cooking with Fire (and Friends!)
In Dragon Shelter, cooking isn’t just a side activity—it’s the beating heart of the game’s crafting and progression systems. Preparing delicious meals allows you to strengthen bonds with your local neighbours, lift the spirits of a gloomy nearby town, and unlock brand-new opportunities across the magical realm.
Every crop you harvest and resource you gather can be funnelled into cooking, alchemy, crafting, or trade. What makes this system truly unique, however, is how your dragon sidekicks step in to help:
- Dragon Helpers: Your scaly, adorable companions assist with tasks around the farm and kitchen, lending their unique elemental powers and magical traits to your daily routine.
- Overzealous Culinary Assistants: Need a little extra heat for a recipe? Your dragon friends are always eager to help—though their enthusiasm might mean keeping a watchful eye on the flame!
- Meaningful Progression: Dishes aren’t just for restored stamina; enchanted meals play a crucial role in healing the world around you and restoring harmony between humans and dragons.
Rebuilding a Fantasy Sanctuary
Set in a heartwarming, vibrant world, Dragon Shelter puts players in the shoes of a hero tasked with rebuilding their grandfather’s abandoned farm and reigniting a long-lost bond between humanity and dragons.
Key features players can look forward to include:
- Adorable Dragon Companions: Rescue, raise, and care for a variety of cheerful dragons with distinct personalities and magical abilities.
- Deep Crafting & Alchemy: Turn simple harvests into valuable trade goods, powerful potions, and heartwarming culinary feasts.
- Community Restoration: Help townsfolk rediscover joy by sharing meals, listening to their stories, and bringing light back to forgotten lands.
- Vibrant Biomes: Explore diverse, magical environments filled with secrets, curious creatures, and natural beauty.
