Revive your neighborhood’s summer festival in this comedic-yet-bittersweet adventure
October 29, 2026 — Connect with your quirky neighbors and revive a festival to cheer up your grandma in Danchi Days, a new slice of life adventure game from the co-creator of Anodyne and Angeline Era out today on Steam!
In Danchi Days, 12-year old Hoshino 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 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!
