Ghibli-Style Rural Sim "Morikomori" Launches

Morikomori Life has officially launched on Android and iOS, though currently only available in Japan. This time, Realfun Studio is handling the publishing. Originally, the game debuted in China through Level Infinite under Tencent Games, but the Chinese version was removed roughly a year ago.

Rediscovering Rural Farm Life

What truly stands out are the game’s visuals. The developers have masterfully captured cozy, heartwarming aesthetics with anime-inspired artistry—more precisely, Studio Ghibli’s signature style. Forget AI-generated imitations; these scenes genuinely look like stills pulled straight from a Ghibli film.

As for the story, you step into the shoes of Kaon, a young Japanese girl who receives an enigmatic letter from her grandmother, inviting her back to Komori Village—the place where she grew up.

From there, immerse yourself in rediscovering the joys of slow, peaceful living. Komori’s 3D toon-shaded landscapes radiate warmth, mirroring the charm of Japan’s real-life countryside.

Don’t just take my word for it—watch these Morikomori Life trailers below and witness the magic yourself!

Embrace Slow-Paced Living in Morikomori Life

The game revolves around slice-of-life activities: farming, cooking, fishing, hunting, and even constructing your own home. Gather resources like wood and ore, or uncover rare materials while exploring.

As you accumulate resources, new opportunities emerge to upgrade your house and enrich your lifestyle. Customize Kaon’s appearance, befriend villagers, prepare meals with foraged ingredients, and assist locals with their tasks.

Morikomori Life allows deep personalization to reflect your unique personality. Its open-world design encourages exploration, rewarding you with charming discoveries around every corner.

Currently available on Android in Japan, players in the region can download it via Google Play. A global release date remains unconfirmed.
