"Morikomori Life: New Social, Rural Sim with Ghibli Art"

The eagerly awaited Morikomori Life has officially launched on Android and iOS platforms, but it's currently available only in Japan. This time, Realfun Studio is behind the publishing, marking a shift from its initial release in China by Level Infinite under Tencent Games. Notably, the Chinese version was discontinued about a year ago, leaving fans hopeful for its return in a new form.

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 cozy living through anime-inspired, specifically Ghibli-style art. This isn't the generic AI-generated art you might come across; these scenes genuinely resemble frames from a Studio Ghibli animated film, providing a serene and immersive experience.

In the game, you step into the shoes of Kaon, a young Japanese girl. The story unfolds as she receives a mysterious letter from her grandmother, prompting her to return to her childhood village, Komori. Your journey involves rediscovering the joys of a tranquil rural life. The 3D toon shading used in Komori beautifully enhances the warm and inviting Japanese landscapes, making them feel almost like the real countryside.
