Exciting news for fans of rural farm life simulations: Morikomori Life has officially launched on Android and iOS, but currently, it's only available in Japan. This charming game is brought to you by Realfun Studio, marking a shift from its initial release in China by Level Infinite under Tencent Games. Unfortunately, the Chinese version was discontinued about a year ago.
The Rural Farm Life Sim Is Back
One of the standout features of Morikomori Life is its stunning visuals. The developers have masterfully captured the essence of a cozy countryside through anime-inspired art, specifically drawing from the beloved Studio Ghibli style. These aren't just any generic graphics; they truly feel like stills from a Ghibli film.
In the game, you step into the shoes of Kaon, a young Japanese girl who receives a mysterious letter from her grandmother, prompting her to return to her childhood village, Komori. The journey back is an opportunity for Kaon to reconnect with the tranquility of rural life. The 3D toon shading used in the game enhances the warmth and authenticity of the Japanese landscapes, making them feel like a real-life countryside.
