A comedic-yet-bittersweet adventure in a Japanese neighborhood

In slice-of-life adventure Danchi Days, 12-year old Hoshino Kanaoka 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 neighbors! In this comedic-yet-bittersweet tale, uncover forgotten truths about Hoshino's neighborhood, overcome opponents who stand against the festival, and explore the everyday world of her danchi (a Japanese mass housing complex).

Invite Quirky Neighbors to a Summer Festival

Danchi Days has neighbors from all walks of life: from friendly seniors who love to chat, to grumpy high-schoolers hoping to escape, to adults just trying to get by. Each neighbor shows a different facet of danchi life, from the thrilling to the mundane.

Browse the Web!

Browse the in-game internet, and discover a thing or two about your neighbors. But watch out! Some websites are darker. Malevolent, even. Not everyone is as enthusiastic as Hoshino about the festival...

Play minigames and explore the danchi

Hoshino's kappa sidekick, Moro-Q, will help you find the five offerings needed to revive the summer festival. Along the way, you'll explore forests and buildings and play "Sense Games": surprising minigames that might require you to smell trees, hug plushies, or listen to toilets! The world of Danchi Days is full of little surprises and details. Who will you meet? What will you find?
