A Serene Harvest: "Japanese Rural Life Adventure"
In the world of video games, there’s nothing quite like the serene harvest of "Japanese Rural Life Adventure."

Released on Apple Arcade on September 15, 2023, "Japanese Rural Life Adventure" is the brainchild of Game Start, a studio with a clear passion for pixel art. The original concept art is a delight, with a hilly landscape and colorful buildings that evoke a real-life Japanese town.
The game itself is designed for mobile devices, with an intuitive touchscreen interface that’s easy to navigate. Cooking minigames, like the one shown below, are a joy to play, and fishing is a breeze thanks to the clever tap-to-reel mechanic.
