Honogurashi no Niwa, a cozy but spooky new farming sim announced for launch in Japan back in July 2025, is coming to the west this Fall as Village in the Shade, developer Nippon Ichi has revealed.
The western announcement trailer for Village in the Shade explores a hand-painted and exceptionally cozy Japanese mountain settlement called Kagatsu with fields ripe for the sowing. Nippon Ichi says you'll plant crops, customize your pad, and get to know a variety of "intriguing characters."
