Hakoniwa Electric is a cute, relaxing puzzle exploration game about fixing electronics by Japanese developer Anettai. It features 12 miniature open-world stages. Alongside the game’s announcement, Anettai revealed that it would launch for PC this year. In the game, players spend a year as Akari, who has taken over grandpa’s electronics shop. Explore isometric stages, solve puzzles, and help the townsfolk with their monthly problems.
The game allows players to unwind at their own pace. While grandpa is vacationing in the tropics, Akari and her robot friend take over his electronics shop. Turn the lights on, put up job posters, and open up! The townsfolk come for help with everyday woes.
The charming, isometric town captures the seasons as they change. Each stage is filled to the brim with little details to discover, and each hides a puzzle. Find it, rotate the circuit pieces, and connect the wires to solve it and watch the world light up. There’s nothing overly difficult, just some easy trial-and-error. Akari’s monthly diary updates after each stage, providing glimpses into her daily life.
