This item is a Pre-Order. The release date for this item is expected to be 2026-12-31

Village in the Shade is a one-of-a-kind cozy life simulation that blends relaxing daily life with Japanese horror, folklore, and yokai mythology. Set in a nostalgic, distinctly Japanese countryside, the game offers a life simulation experience unlike traditional Western-style farming sims. Build your life at your own pace — farm the land, raise livestock, fish in tranquil waters, and explore the village as you uncover the quiet mysteries woven into everyday life. Featuring beautifully hand-drawn visuals, the game’s charming characters and subtly expressionless faces create a unique atmosphere — equal parts cute, melancholic, and deeply nostalgic. Rather than relying on conventional horror, the game evokes a lingering sense of unease that quietly permeates village life. As the story unfolds, players will uncover mysterious “rules” governing the village, inviting narrative-driven players to piece together its hidden truths and deeper secrets.
