Anime Central 2025 Announcements: Dra-Con Café, NEKO-NIN exHeart SPIN! LOVE+PLUS

May 16th, 2025 (LOS ANGELES, CA) – At Anime Central 2025, Sekai Project announces 2 new game licenses for distribution on digital gaming platforms including a game license from a new Japanese development studio.

Dra-Con Café
Developer: Cuteuphoria
Platform: Steam
Release Date: 2025

Our first release with new brand, Cuteuphoria, as the name implies this is a romantic comedy visual novel featuring dragon girls from another world and concept cafés. Translation work is mostly done with the exception of Chinese translation. A more specific release date will be announced at a later time but currently this is slated for a release in 2025.

Shidou Masamune is an average college student living in Japan. With enough credits to graduate, he counts down the days to graduation by visiting concept cafés around town. Much like maid cafés, concept cafés are similar with the twist being the theme or concept each café is centered on.

While waiting to enter a popular tsundere maid café, Masamune crosses paths with Maru, a concept café enthusiast whose real name is Marmalydia Dot Fearburn, a Mother Dragon from another world?! These two become comrades-in-arms, visiting concept cafés together. Like total pals. Until Maru accidentally ends Maasmune’s life and burns him to a crisp with her dragon breath.

…After using her magic to bring Masamune back to life, fate intervenes when he suddenly inherits his grandfather’s café. While he is unsure how to run the café of his beloved grandfather, Maru suddenly has the idea of running a concept café of her own. A dragon-themed café where you can meet actual dragons! Masamune’s life is about to change (not including the dying by dragon fire part) as he steps in to help make Maru’s dreams a reality. And thus the alternate world-feeling, dragon-filled cafe, the Dra-Con Cafe, is now open!

NEKO-NIN exHeart SPIN! LOVE+PLUS
Developer: Whirlpool
Platform: Steam

NEKO-NIN exHeart SPIN! LOVE+PLUS is the fan disc follow-up to NEKO-NIN exHeart SPIN! which was released back in 2024.

Much like previous LOVE+PLUS fan disc releases such as from the original NEKO-NIN exHeart trilogy, this release features 3 mini episodes that focus on the three heroines from the series. Translation work has finished with QA testing to begin shortly. A specific release date is not available at this time, but the fan disc will be released in 2025.

EPISODE 1 – Touka

With Touka and Chika joining the Saiga family, our protagonist's home life has changed a great deal. Despite initial concerns about how things will go, Touka demonstrates her all-encompassing flexibility and becomes a happy member of the family.
One day, our protagonist notices Touka looking out of sorts. He grows worried that she may be tired or overworked. After much deliberation, he comes up with a plan to address this concern: giving Touka a well-deserved surprise party.

EPISODE 2 - Makibishi Nanako

After several tumultuous days ensuing from the death of Nanako and the protagonist's grandpa, peace has finally returned to the Saiga household. Having overcome her grief, Nanako is now fully devoted to following in her beloved grandpa's footsteps and becoming a master inventor.
Our caring protagonist, however, worries she may be working herself too hard. Just when he resolves to give her a chance of pace, the neighborhood kids are horrified by a ghostly appearance. With the friendly local tanuki Shinobi determined to protect the city's peace, the Shinobi ghost busters ride to the rescue!
Under this eerie onslaught, what fate awaits Nanako and our protagonist?

Episode 3 - Nekoe Chika

After the dust from the Saiga succession war clears, Chika ends up freeloading in the protagonist's home. Naturally, instead of seeking to fit in and live happily with everyone, she keeps playing pranks on everyone (okay, mainly Nanako).
This culminates in Chika breaking a beloved heirloom vase, at which Nanako flies into a rage. Though this was a genuine accident, the result is nevertheless Chika's fault for being negligent.
She acknowledges her guilt, but, unable to offer a sincere apology, she instead runs away from home. Will she be find her place in the family, or is this the end of their short time together?
