Morikomori Life Is a New Social and Rural Life Sim with Ghibli-Style Artwork

Morikomori Life has officially launched on Android and iOS devices, exclusively in Japan, brought to you by Realfun Studio. Interestingly, it was initially released in China by Level Infinite under Tencent Games, but 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 captivating visuals. The developers have masterfully captured the essence of a cozy rural life through anime-inspired, specifically Studio Ghibli-style art. The game's scenes look as if they've been directly lifted from a Ghibli animated film, offering a truly immersive experience.

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, her childhood home. As Kaon, you embark on a journey to rediscover the tranquility of rural living. The 3D toon shading in Komori beautifully enhances the warm, inviting feel of Japan's countryside, making every moment in the game feel authentic and serene.

Morikomori Life Lets You Experience Slow-Paced Living

Morikomori Life is all about embracing the slow and steady pace of rural life. Engage in various activities such as farming, cooking, fishing, hunting, and even building your own home. You can chop wood, mine for ore, and discover rare materials while exploring the countryside.

As you gather resources, you unlock opportunities to upgrade your home and enrich your lifestyle. Personalize Kaon’s appearance to match your style, meet new friends in the village, prepare dishes from foraged ingredients, and assist villagers with various tasks.

The game offers extensive character customization, allowing you to tailor your avatar to reflect your personality. The open-world aspect provides the freedom to explore and uncover delightful surprises scattered throughout the game world.
