There are a lot of relaxing games available on the PS5, but the new game ‘Village in the Shade’ from NIS America seems to be adding a bit of a mysterious and slightly creepy twist to the genre.
The announcement trailer starts with a beautiful, painted-style world, then quickly shows scenes of farming and everyday life.
But when the sun sets, you may need your pitchforks for more than just tilling the soil.
Here’s how the publisher describes the game, which is due for release later this year on the PS5:
Discover Kagatsu, a charming Japanese mountain village full of mystery! In this beautifully hand-painted farming game, you can grow crops, design your dream home, and get to know a group of fascinating people.
Whether you prefer unwinding by the stream, enjoying the cherry blossoms with friends, or simply exploring town, you’ll find plenty of ways to feel comfortable and at ease here.
Just remember these few simple rules: stay away from strangers, don’t wander outside the village, and absolutely do not go out after dark.
Beyond settling in with new furniture and friends, you’ll also be delving into the secrets of Kagatsu – if you’re brave enough.
Okay, this game looks seriously cool! It’s taking a familiar idea and doing something new with it, and I’m really excited to see where it goes. I can’t wait to find out more!
