Family Friendly Gaming News
March 26, in the year of our Lord 2026 -- NIS America
is excited to announce that Village in the Shade (known as
Honogurashi no Niwa in Japan) will be coming to Nintendo Switch,
Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and PC this Fall. The game is
developed by Japanese development studio Nippon Ichi Software,
Inc., developers of popular franchises including Disgaea and
Phantom Brave.
Welcome to Kagatsu, a Japanese mountain village with plenty of
secrets. In this brand-new, hand-painted farming sim, you'll
plant crops, customize your homestead, and befriend a cast of
intriguing characters.
Relax by the brook, watch the cherry blossoms with your
neighbors, or take a stroll through town. With so many ways to
relax, you're sure to feel right at home.
Just make sure to follow a few simple rules: don't talk to
strangers, don't leave the village, and, whatever you do, don't
go out at night.
Features:
Unsettle Down: Make your new home feel like home! Buy furniture
in town to decorate your house, then craft fences and other
items with the resources you've gathered around your farm.
Festivals and Fun: Experience traditional Japanese festivals and
activities, like the summer festival and cherry-blossom viewing.
Get closer to your neighbors as you enjoy laid-back living.
Secrets Aren't Meant to be Shared: Discover the truth about
Kagatsu at your own risk, or follow the rules and keep from
seeing a part of the village you don't want to.
A Limited Edition of Village in the Shade is now available to

collector’s box, art book, original soundtrack, acrylic block,
