Game overview
About Dragon Shelter
Dragon Shelter is a cozy fantasy farm sim from Wild Forest Studio and Curve Games. You inherit grandpa's abandoned farm, befriend elemental dragons, grow enchanted crops, and cook meals that slowly bring a gloomy town back to life. The full game launches on Steam for Windows on September 24, 2026. Until then, a guided demo walkthrough covers the opening days: plant, cook, earn trust, and meet the water dragon. Read getting started if you have not booted the demo yet, then use the farming guide, cooking guide, crafting, seasons, and dragon care pages as you play. Rankings live on the tier list, launch facts on the release date page, and PC specs on system requirements.
