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

Morikomori Life has officially launched on Android and iOS platforms, but it's currently exclusive to Japan. The game, published by Realfun Studio, marks a fresh release after its initial debut in China by Level Infinite under Tencent Games. Interestingly, the Chinese version was discontinued approximately 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 Ghibli-style art. This isn't just another generic, AI-generated style; the scenes genuinely evoke the charm of a Studio Ghibli film.

In the game, you step into the shoes of Kaon, a young Japanese girl. The narrative begins when Kaon receives a mysterious letter from her grandmother, prompting her to return to her childhood village, Komori. There, you embark on a journey to rediscover the joys of a tranquil rural life. The 3D toon shading in Komori brings the serene Japanese landscapes to life, making them feel warm and reminiscent of the actual countryside.
