Harvest Moon creator Yasuhiro Wada is working on a new game called Little Dragons Cafe. The game published by Aksys Games will be released on Nintendo Switch and Playstation 4 this summer. Players will be able to run their own cafe, and grow the ingredients used to cook foods themselves.

The story opens with a twin brother and sister learning to cook and manage a small café under their mother’s tutelage. 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.

Developer and Publisher Lienzo are going to release the stunningly beautiful adventure game Mulaka on Nintendo Switch, Playstation 4 and Steam (PC and Mac). The game set in the northern territory of Mexico captures the story and indigenous culture of the Tarahumara shaman. Players will explore a beautiful world, while drawing upon the powers of demigods. Furthermore there dozens of puzzles to solve set in the gorgeous environment inspired by the real Sierra Tarahumara locations.

Lienzo has also promised to donate a portion of Mulaka’s earning towards the strengthening of the culture and the preservation of the Tarahumara Sierra. We absolutely love that!

About Mulaka

Dive into northern Mexico’s breathtaking landscapes with Mulaka, a 3D action-adventure game based on the rich indigenous culture of the Tarahumara. Renowned for their impressive running abilities, embark on the journey of a Sukurúame – a Tarahumara shaman – as you fight back the foulness corrupting the land, while drawing upon the powers of demigods. From solving puzzles in environments inspired by real Sierra Tarahumara locations, to heated hand-to-hand combat with creatures pulled from the region’s mythology, find out why the Tarahumara have earned a reputation for being superhumans.

The Culture

The Tarahumara was a powerful and dangerous tribe who occupied most of northern Mexico. Contrary to popular belief, they were conflictive and skilled warriors. There’s evidence of them clashing with Apaches, Conchos and other tribes, but never conquered by them. When the Jesuits arrived and started colonizing, they ran into 100 years of bloody conflict before being able to settle. The Tarahumara still live and have adapted to the modern world fairly well. They still have many of their ancient rites, myths and customs, but have mixed the catholic religion with their own. One can meet them face to face every day in the state of Chihuahua, and also see them living in the same prehistoric natural way scattered along the beautiful Sierra.

The Runners

The Tarahumara have been called super athletes, super humans, and even The Greatest Race the world has never seen . All because of one thing: their running. Harness the renowned athletic talents of the Tarahumara as you engage in fast-paced platforming and hand-to-hand combat. Traverse a 3D world inspired by the legendary, real-life landscapes of northern Mexico, rendered in a vibrant, low-poly visual style.

The Process

Mulaka was designed hand in hand with renowned anthropologists and Tarahumara leaders to capture the true essence of the culture in the game. We have unearthed old books, crumbling texts and forgotten diaries and gotten the most playable elements, as well as the coolest myths and stories and recorded authentic Tarahumara dialogue. Everything has been done so you can experience the power and adventurous history of this culture. From narration in their indigenous language, to music unique to the region, experience an authentic representation of Tarahumara culture.

Quests

Draw upon the powers of demigods and battle fearsome creatures pulled from the rich lore of the Tarahumara people. The Sukurúame is the shaman or warlock capable of interacting with the gods above, below and everywhere in between. He is also the most capable of facing mythical creatures like the gigantic Ganoko, the soul-eating Rusíwari or the fire-spitting Sipabuara. Obtain new powerful transformations from the mighty demi-gods throughout your quest and become a true Sukurúame!

Mulaka will be released on Playstation 4 and Steam on February 27th. Nintendo Switch and Xbox One owners will have to wait only a few days longer for the release on March 1st.
