About This Item

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.

Wanderstop - Nintendo Switch 2

Wanderstop is a narrative-centric cozy game about change and tea. Playing as a fallen fighter named Alta, you’ll manage a tea shop within a magical forest and tend to the customers who pass through. But Alta does not want to be here. And if she gets her way, the tea shop will be nothing but a brief and painful memory. Wanderstop is a tea shop management ritual. Grow and harvest the ingredients needed for tea, and then mix them together in an unusual tea-making contraption. Along the way, speak with the many travelers who pass through the shop, learn their stories and make tea that’s just right for them. In your downtime, you might tidy up around the clearing, decorate the shop in your style, or just sit on a bench with a cup of tea and listen to your own thoughts. Maybe doing nothing at all is okay. The shop demands patience; it rejects those who have come only in the pursuit of growth unchecked. And that’s why Alta can’t be here. It’s why she’ll never make it. This isn’t who she is. No, she’s a fighter! Why would anyone insist on turning the world’s greatest championship warrior into a docile shopkeeper?! With everything she’s capable of?? No no no, she won’t, she won’t do it... she can’t…
