Village in the Shade is a new title in which the Yomawari development team combines traditional horror elements with Stardew Valley-style farming simulation. Both the horror and everyday parts are well-structured, and the volume is balanced enough that it is not difficult to read both parts in parallel. The night’s heart-pounding terror and the daytime’s chill coexist in harmony with everyday life, while also capturing the fun of breaking the rules of a traditional village. Overall, the level of polish and stability is adequate, but it lacks a certain degree of originality.
