<p>Players step into the shoes of Hoshino who is determined to revive the once-thriving summer festival in a danchi, a Japanese housing complex. Like the good ol’ days of Y2K, players can surf the internet and uncover the quirks and desires of their neighbors.</p> 

<p>Hoshino’s goal throughout the game is to invite neighbors to join in on the festival. There are over 151 characters from all walks of life available to recruit.</p> 

<p>Along the way, players will also encounter a variety of challenges and heartwarming stories from various NPCs. Which means that while some festival-goers may readily accept the invitation, others will need a little encouragement.</p> 

<p>As Hoshino, you have heightened ‘senses’ that will prove useful in observing their surroundings and finding hidden details to know more about other characters.</p> 

<p>Danchi Days oozes nostalgia with its stylistic retro charm thanks to the artwork from independent illustrator <a href="https://www.instagram.com/mogumu_/">mogumu</a>.</p>

<p>Danchi Days draws inspiration from beloved titles like Hamtaro, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/games/earthbound/">EarthBound</a>, and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/games/moon/">MOON Remix RPG</a>. It promises to be a delightful journey for fans of Y2K and GBA-era games.</p> 

<p>As a result, it exudes an oddly reminiscent period where everyone was playing Nintendo’s Game Boy Advance for the first time.</p> 

<p>The game is slated for a <strong>2026</strong> release for Windows/Mac on <a href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/3107530/Danchi_Days?snr=1_7_15__13">Steam</a>, <a href="https://han-tani.itch.io/danchi-game-temporary-title">Itch</a>, <a href="https://www.gog.com/en/">GOG</a>. Users on Steam can already wishlist the game today.</p>
