The charming rural farm life simulator, Morikomori Life, has officially launched on Android and iOS platforms, but it's currently available only in Japan. This delightful game is brought to you by Realfun Studio, marking a new chapter after its initial release in China by Level Infinite under Tencent Games. Notably, the Chinese version was discontinued approximately a year ago.
One of the standout features of Morikomori Life is its enchanting visuals. The developers have masterfully captured the cozy essence of rural life through anime-inspired, specifically Ghibli-style art. These visuals are reminiscent of scenes directly lifted from a Studio Ghibli animated film, offering a genuine and nostalgic aesthetic far removed from the generic AI-generated art seen today.
In the game, you step into the shoes of Kaon, a young Japanese girl who receives a mysterious letter from her grandmother, inviting her to visit the village of Komori where she spent her childhood. As Kaon, you embark on a journey to rediscover the joys of a tranquil rural life. The game's use of 3D toon shading enhances the warmth and authenticity of the Japanese countryside, making it feel almost tangible.
