A Classic Harvest Moon 64-Style Farming Experience
Honogurashi no Niwa is a refreshing new direction from Nippon Ichi Software, as the developer known for its RPG titles shifts its focus to life simulation and farming gameplay. First revealed last year, the game has now officially opened its Steam store page, allowing interested players to explore details and wishlist the title starting today.
The game takes players on a journey to a quiet countryside village, presented through a classic angled top-down camera reminiscent of Harvest Moon 64. Its 2.5D visual style delivers a nostalgic yet modern farming experience designed for relaxed and immersive play.
About Honogurashi no Niwa
Honogurashi no Niwa is a life simulation game set in a warm and peaceful rural village. Players can grow crops, manage a farm, raise animals, fish, and build relationships with the villagers at their own pace. The game avoids pressure and time limits, focusing instead on comfort and slow progression.
Each season introduces festivals and village events that gradually tell gentle and heartwarming stories about life in the countryside. An easy-to-use tool menu allows players to switch between farming tools and items quickly, ensuring smooth and stress-free gameplay throughout daily activities.
A New Life in Kagatsu Village
Players will fully embrace rural life surrounded by lush nature in Kagatsu Village, a small and pristine settlement hidden among quiet mountain ranges. The main character leaves city life behind to take care of an old cottage located just outside the village, along with an overgrown and neglected garden.
From clearing weeds to restoring the land, players will slowly rebuild the property and transform it into their ideal farm through their own efforts. The experience emphasizes personal growth, patience, and the joy of creating something meaningful from nothing.
Platforms and Availability
Honogurashi no Niwa is planned for release on PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC in the future. Players interested in learning more can visit the Steam store page now to view details and add the game to their Wishlist as a way to support the development team.
