About the Game

Laugh, cry, and feel awe in this cute adventure game about inviting characters to a Japanese summer festival! Surf the internet to learn their quirks and desires, then use your senses to uncover the unseen wonders of a Y2K, GBA-inspired world.

Revive the summer festival!

In an old danchi (Japanese housing complex), there used to be a yearly summer festival. Alas, the residents have aged, and the once-loved tradition is now on hold. But our protagonist, Hoshino, decides to revive it. Hand out flyers to let everyone know the festival’s back!

151 Characters - Invite ‘em all!

There’s 151 people to invite, from all walks of life! Some might agree to go immediately - but others have problems to solve. It's not necessary to invite everyone, but the more, the merrier!

Surf the Internet!

Search keywords to find your neighbor’s personal webpages, and learn their quirks and desires. The info you find may help with festival preparations. You might find a quirky minigame here or there, too!

Sense the world!

Use your Sensing ability to observe the rich world of the danchi, and discover something new! A tossed-aside cigarette butt tells a story, and the fragrant scent of trees hides the sneaky presence of a mosquito. Inspired by the Y2K, GBA eras, Danchi Days is a summer adventure filled with mystery and surprise.

Your next dream game?

Inspired by games like Hamtaro, EarthBound, MOON Remix RPG, fans of those eras will feel right at home! But there’s not only nostalgia - adults and kids alike will find Danchi Days to be a fresh, intriguing game, full of emotional ups and downs.
