Kagatsu is a charming Japanese mountain village full of mystery, and it’s the setting for a relaxing new farming game. Grow crops, build the farm of your dreams, and get to know the interesting people who live there!
Unwind by the stream, enjoy the cherry blossoms with friends, or simply wander around town. There are plenty of ways to relax and feel comfortable here.
Please stick to a few basic guidelines: avoid speaking with people you don’t know, stay within the village boundaries, and absolutely do not go outside after dark.
Features:
Settle into your new life! Furnish your house with items from town and build fences and other useful things using materials you collect on your farm.
Enjoy the vibrant culture of Japan with traditional festivals and activities, such as summer celebrations and viewing the beautiful cherry blossoms. Experience a relaxed and friendly community where you can connect with your neighbors.
- Secrets Aren’t Meant to be Shared: Discover the truth about Kagatsu at your own risk, or follow the rules and keep from seeing a part of the village you don’t want to.
