Morikomori Life is the latest entry in the growing world of cozy life simulation MMOs, a free-to-play mobile game available in iOS/Mac OS and Android devices game offering players the chance to step into a relaxing, anime-inspired countryside. With Studio Ghibli-style artwork and a focus on farming, cooking, and social relationships, the game invites players to escape city life and return to the quiet village of Komori.

A Return to Komori Village

The story begins when the main character, Kaon, receives a secret letter from her grandmother. This letter leads her back to Komori Village, her childhood hometown far removed from the city’s fast pace. Here, players experience a healing lifestyle filled with farming, fishing, and building new friendships in a beautifully crafted Japanese-inspired setting.

Using 3D toon shading, Morikomori Life captures the warmth of hand-drawn animation while offering detailed, realistic textures. From lush rice fields to traditional wooden houses, the game recreates the atmosphere of a peaceful Japanese countryside.
