The eagerly anticipated mobile game, Morikomori Life, has officially launched on Android and iOS platforms in Japan, courtesy of Realfun Studio. Previously, the title was introduced in China by Level Infinite under Tencent Games, but it was discontinued there about a year ago. This rural farm life simulation game invites players into a serene world inspired by the picturesque Japanese countryside.
The Rural Farm Life Sim Is Back
One of the most captivating aspects of Morikomori Life is its stunning visuals. The developers have masterfully captured a cozy, inviting atmosphere through anime-inspired art, specifically evoking the enchanting style of Studio Ghibli. The game's scenes are so beautifully crafted that they could easily be mistaken for stills from a Ghibli animated feature.
In the game, you take on the role of Kaon, a young Japanese girl who receives a mysterious letter from her grandmother, prompting her to return to her childhood home in the village of Komori. Here, you embark on a journey to rediscover the joys of a peaceful, rural life. The 3D toon shading used in Komori brings the warmth and charm of Japanese landscapes to life, creating an immersive experience that feels like a true countryside getaway.

Morikomori Life Lets You Experience Slow-Paced Living
Morikomori Life is all about embracing the slow pace of rural life. Engage in activities like farming, cooking, fishing, hunting, and even constructing your own home. Gather resources by chopping wood, mining for ore, and exploring the environment to find rare materials.
As you accumulate resources, you'll unlock new opportunities to enhance your living space and enrich your daily life. Personalize Kaon's appearance to match your style, and connect with the village's inhabitants. Prepare dishes using foraged ingredients and lend a hand with various tasks around the village.
The game also allows for extensive character customization, letting you tailor Kaon to reflect your personality. With its open-world design, you're free to roam and discover delightful surprises scattered throughout the landscape.
Currently available on Android in Japan, you can find Morikomori Life on the Google Play Store if you're in the region. There's no confirmation yet on a global release, so keep an eye out for further updates.
