Japanese Rural Life is an adorable life and farm simulation game where you get to experience the country side of Japan.

For anyone who missed the announcement of this game, Japan has become the status symbol for everything cute and adorable ( at least in the Animal Crossing World ) and this title made by a small indie development team known for Food Truck Pup is now making a life simulation game about Japanese Rural Life!

The game has been in development for some time and has seen multiple delays simply because the developer wants to make sure that Japanese Rural Life is as fun and complete as it can possibly be.

Farm, Fish and Pets

Japanese Rural Life let’s you experience what it’s like to live in the country side of Japan. Your small cottage is placed right in the middle of nature and open for you to customize however you like.

You can spend your days in nature by fishing, growing a beautiful garden, exploring and so much more. Of course there are plenty of villagers to meet that just like you, want to experience the same beautiful lifestyle.

You will also be able to adopt and care for a little doggy and the best thing? It follows you around as you explore the country side making it a true life companion.

But in order to have your pup follow you everywhere you go, you will have to share some love with your furry friend by feeding treats and of course giving the doggy a good petting every now and then! Take a peak at the clip below!

Japanese Rural Life Release Date

Japanese Rural Life is currently still in development, the developer had announced a release date for last summer, unforutentaly that’s also when the game was delayed as it needed a little bit more time.

While a delay is always disappointing it will be great to have a very polished game once it does release. I have reached out to the developer about a possible Nintendo Switch release and more details about the release window. The following answer was shared with me! You can check out the full interview I had with the developer here.

Release Date update

The developer finally announced a release window for Japanese Rural Life, the indie game is expected to be available sometime during this year, 2023. Follow him on Twitter and share your excitement for the game with him!

Will the game be available on iOS and Android? Are you considering a Nintendo Switch release?

Yes.
First of all, I will release it on iOS and Android.
If I can find a publisher who can make the most of it, I’d like to release it for the Nintendo Switch and PC as well.
