Gamepia (CEO Jung Jong-heon), in collaboration with Clouded Leopard Entertainment (CEO Chen Wenwen), announced that pre-orders for the physical package of the life simulator 'Silent Countryside Garden Story,' developed by Nippon Ichi Software, Inc., will begin on the 22nd. The product officially supports Korean subtitles.

'Silent Countryside Garden Story' is the latest title from the creators of the 'Yomawari' series, a life simulator set in a charming rural village. Players can use customization features to create their own character by combining hairstyles, outfits, and accessories. They can then enjoy a peaceful, nostalgic country life by raising crops and livestock, fishing, hunting, and interacting with the villagers.

Kagatsu, the mountain village where players begin their new life, is governed by rules passed down since ancient times. In a world where the consequences of breaking these rules are unknown and unsettling, the game offers a 'Peaceful Life Mode' that allows players to enjoy a safe and comfortable rural life without the risk of violating any regulations. Conversely, the 'Silent Mode'—which stands in stark contrast to the peaceful option—allows players to experience the full story. In this mode, players can summon the courage to break the rules in the dead of night, when Kagatsu transforms into a completely different place, and explore the village to uncover the mysteries hidden by its residents.

Pre-orders for the PlayStation®5, Nintendo Switch™, and Nintendo Switch™ 2 physical packages of 'Silent Countryside Garden Story' will be available in both 'Asia Limited Edition' and standard versions. The limited edition includes the game software, an art book, a two-disc soundtrack CD, and a special box.

Pre-orders for the PlayStation®5, Nintendo Switch™, and Nintendo Switch™ 2 package versions of 'Silent Countryside Garden Story' will be available from July 22 to July 29, 2026, through various online and offline retailers, including the online store Soprano. The official domestic release date is July 30, 2026. Further information regarding pre-orders and the product can be found on the official game website.
