Quiet countryside living…as long as you follow the rules.
Welcome to Kagatsu, a Japanese mountain village with plenty of secrets. In this brand-new, hand-painted farming sim, you'll plant crops, customize your homestead, and meet a cast of intriguing characters - all with something to hide.
Village in the Shade is a one-of-a-kind cozy life simulation that blends relaxing daily life with Japanese horror, folklore, and yokai mythology.
Set in a nostalgic, distinctly Japanese countryside, the game offers a life simulation experience unlike traditional Western-style farming sims. Build your life at your own pace - farm the land, raise livestock, fish in tranquil waters, and explore the village as you uncover the quiet mysteries woven into everyday life.
Featuring beautifully hand-drawn visuals, the game’s charming characters and subtly expressionless faces create a unique atmosphere - equal parts cute, melancholic, and deeply nostalgic.
Rather than relying on conventional horror, the game evokes a lingering sense of unease that quietly permeates village life. As the story unfolds, players will uncover mysterious “rules” governing the village, inviting narrative-driven players to piece together its hidden truths and deeper secrets.

Secrets Aren't Meant to be Shared
Discover the truth about Kagatsu at your own risk, or follow the rules and keep from seeing a part of the village you don't want to.
