Restore the heart of your community in Danchi Days

Experience a touching narrative adventure game where you return to your roots to revitalize a fading neighborhood. After spending seven years living overseas, 12-year-old Hoshino moves back to her childhood home—a traditional Japanese danchi mass housing complex. When she discovers her grandmother is struggling with dementia, Hoshino embarks on a heartfelt quest to revive the long-cancelled summer festival, hoping to bring joy back to the residents and spark memories of better times.

As you explore the sprawling architecture of the danchi, you will uncover deep-seated town mysteries, face opposition from those who want the tradition to stay buried, and confront the reasons behind your hometown's slow decline. In Danchi Days, uncovering the truth is just as important as planning the perfect celebration.

Engage in meaningful social simulation

In this cozy life sim, success isn't defined by combat, but by the power of conversation. Build relationships with a diverse cast of characters, from vibrant seniors who treasure life lessons to cynical teenagers longing to escape their small-town reality. Every neighbor you meet is a potential attendee for your festival, and forging these connections is the key to preventing the complete isolation of your community.

Explore the digital and physical world

Immerse yourself in unique gameplay mechanics that bridge the gap between the real and virtual:

• NeighborNet: Dive into a nostalgic in-game internet simulation where you can search keywords, read personal websites, and learn the secrets of those living around you. Be careful, though—some corners of the web are dark, and not everyone is happy about your efforts to revive the festival.
• Sense Games: Master the art of the mundane by playing quirky minigames designed to help Hoshino become a Sense Master. From smelling the greenery to collecting morning dew or listening to the unique ambience of the complex, these sensory challenges find wonder in everyday life.

Meet your colorful neighbors

The story of Danchi Days is driven by its unforgettable cast:

• Hoshino Kanaoka: Our determined protagonist, a 6th grader caught between two cultures and desperate to help her grandmother.
• Kimiko Kanaoka: A former kindergarten principal and local leader whose connection to the festival’s cancellation is a mystery waiting to be solved.
• Rio Isshiki: Your former best friend who has grown distant over the years. What secrets is he keeping behind his newfound wall of silence?
• Moro-Q: A mysterious, poetry-loving kappa deity who appears on the water tower to serve as your guide and assistant in reviving the ancient festival rites.

A unique indie collaboration
