Bring your hometown back together!

A simple, story-driven adventure set in 2000s Japan! Reconnect with neighbors, surf the web and play minigames in a comedic-yet-bittersweet tale about a girl and her grandma living with Alzheimer's.

A danchi is a Japanese mass apartment complex, home to many neighbors. But it's not always cheerful! Danchis are home to societal challenges, from aging populations, to dementia and loneliness.

Save the world by... talking to neighbors?

The world of Danchi Days is full of people from all walks of life - from quirky seniors teaching you about the pleasures of chatting, to brooding high-schoolers who desire nothing more than to escape their hometown! In her quest to revive her hometown's summer festival, Hoshino will meet all sorts of faces.

Surf the internet and read about your neighbors

Hoshino's dad made "NeighborNet" - a place where neighbors share their websites! Search keywords to find pages to surf, and learn more about your world. But watch out! Some websites are... darker, malevolent, even. Not everyone views life so positively...

Play minigames - it's the small things that matter most

Our heroine, Hoshino, also hopes to become a Sense Master! By focusing in on the mundane world around her, she can delight in unique "Sense Games", where she'll bump into trees to smell them, collect beads of condensation from iced tea, and even listen to the sounds of neighbors' toilets! You never know what you'll encounter in these everyday minigames.

Born and raised in Another Danchi, Rio and Hoshino were close childhood friends. But ever since she moved back to the danchi, Rio's been acting distant towards Hoshino and her grandma...
