Danchi Days begin this October
There’s now an October release date set for slice-of-life adventure game Danchi Days, coming to PC. Here is a brief description of the game, via Analgesic Productions:
In Danchi Days, 12-year-old Hoshino moves back to her Japanese hometown to be with her grandma, now living with dementia. Hoping to cheer her up, Hoshino decides to revive the local summer festival by inviting her quirky neighbours! In this comedic-yet-bittersweet tale, uncover forgotten truths about Hoshino’s neighbourhood, overcome opponents who stand against the festival, and explore the everyday world of her danchi (a Japanese mass-housing complex).
The neighbourhood is diverse: you’ll find friendly seniors, grumpy high-schoolers, and adults just trying to get by. Each person shows a different side of danchi life, whether thrilling or mundane. You can learn about your neighbours using the in-game internet browser, but be careful: some websites are dark, even malevolent.
Developed by sandy powder, Melos Han-Tani, mogumu, and gingham games, and published by Analgesic Productions, Danchi Days will be released for PC via Steam on October 29.
