When Village in the Shade was announced for localization earlier this year, I wondered if its fall release window meant it would be out in time for Halloween.
And it will be!
NIS America announced that Village in the Shade will be out on October 27 for Switch, Switch 2, PS4, PS5, and PC.
As you might recall, Village in the Shade is a farming sim from the developers of the Yomawari series. The village has specific rules you must follow… or you’ll see what makes it not only a farming sim, but also a horror game.
In short, it’s great for Halloween!
There is also a special mode that prevents you from breaking the rules, if you just want to enjoy the farming part without the horror, which is an interesting touch.
They even gave it its own trailer.
I’m not much of a farming game fan, but this is one I’m pretty interested in, for obvious reasons.
Now, October 27 is the same release date as the 9 RIP Sequel, which is a higher priority for me, so I doubt I’ll be playing Village in the Shade at launch. Nevertheless, I’m happy to see this game will be out in time for Halloween!
