暖暮之庭（ほの暮しの庭）預計於2026年7月30日在Nintendo Switch、Switch 2、PS5與Steam平台發行。以慢節奏生活與情感交流為核心的模擬遊戲，由日本一團隊開發，主打溫馨的鄉間生活氛圍與細膩的人物互動。背景設定在一個被花草與木造小屋圍繞的靜謐庭園中，主角是在山中迷路的孩子，透過在村莊內勞動獲取居住的地方。從破舊的小屋出發，逐漸開拓屬於自己的地盤，與鄰近的居民、來訪的旅人，以及庭園中的動植物建立聯繫。在四季交替的時間軸下，透過日常行動、園藝經營與社交交流，逐漸了解這個小社區背後的故事與人物情感。

劇情並非以單一主線推進，而是以多段支線與日常事件交織而成。每位居民都有自己的生活節奏與背景，隨著玩家的互動與事件觸發，他們會逐漸敞開心扉，分享過去的經歷或生活的煩惱。庭園本身也是故事的一部分——有超過80種農作物與花種，某些稀有植物或景觀會在特定條件下出現，象徵角色間情感的轉變或故事的進展。能在這片庭園中體驗悠閒的種植、採集與布置，也可能在無意間觸發情感張力強烈的劇情片段，形成生活與敘事的自然融合。

操作上，採用第三人稱視角，自由探索庭園與周邊小鎮。園藝系統是核心玩法之一，從播種、澆水到採收，會受到季節與天氣影響，部分植物還需要與特定角色合作才能成功培育。同時設有製作與裝飾系統，收集到的資源打造家具、裝點庭園，甚至舉辦小型聚會或節日活動，可創造出超過1500種以上的各種家具與裝飾物品。與NPC的交流採用對話選項與贈禮機制，不同選擇會影響角色對玩家的態度，進而解鎖不同的事件與結局。此外，整體節奏刻意放緩，能以自己的步調體驗，不必承受任務期限的壓力。

市場評價方面，受到喜愛慢生活模擬類型玩家的高度肯定。許多評論讚賞其美術風格溫潤細膩、光影與四季變化極具詩意，音樂也以輕柔的鋼琴與弦樂為主，成功營造出放鬆且沉浸的氛圍。玩家普遍認為，雖然遊戲的玩法不像農場經營類作品那麼多元複雜，但其情感敘事與角色刻畫真摯細膩，能引發情感共鳴。然而，也有部分評論指出，對於習慣高效率進程或強烈挑戰的玩家而言，本作可能節奏過於緩慢，遊戲目標不夠明確。但對於追求療癒、享受沉浸式生活模擬的人來說，《暖暮之庭》無疑是值得細細品味的鄉間時光。

Honoburashi no Niwa is scheduled for release on July 30, 2026, for Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, PS5, and Steam. Developed by Nippon Ichi Software, this simulation game focuses on a slow-paced lifestyle and emotional connections, featuring a warm, rural atmosphere and intricate character interactions. The setting takes place in a tranquil garden surrounded by flowers and wooden cottages. The protagonist, a lost child in the mountains, earns a place to live through labor in a small village. Starting from a dilapidated cabin, the player gradually expands their own territory, building relationships with local residents, visiting travelers, and the flora and fauna within the garden. Across the changing seasons, players experience daily activities, gardening, and social exchanges, uncovering the backstories and emotions of this small community.

The narrative does not follow a single main storyline, but instead unfolds through multiple side stories and everyday events. Each resident has their own lifestyle and background, and as the player interacts with them and triggers certain events, they gradually open up, sharing past experiences or personal troubles. The garden itself plays a role in the story—with over 80 types of crops and flowers, some rare plants and landscapes appear only under specific conditions, symbolizing emotional shifts between characters or story progression. Players can enjoy relaxed gardening, gathering, and decorating, while also unexpectedly triggering emotionally intense story moments, creating a natural fusion of daily life and narrative.

The game uses a third-person perspective, allowing free exploration of the garden and surrounding town. Gardening is one of the core systems, where planting, watering, and harvesting are influenced by seasonal and weather changes. Some plants require collaboration with specific characters to successfully grow. A crafting and decorating system lets players use collected resources to make furniture, beautify the garden, and even host small gatherings or seasonal events. There are over 1,500 types of furniture and decorative items available. Interaction with NPCs is handled through dialogue choices and gift-giving, with decisions affecting their attitudes toward the player, unlocking new events and multiple endings. The overall pace is intentionally slow, allowing players to proceed at their own rhythm without the pressure of time-limited missions.

In terms of market reception, Honoburashi no Niwa has been highly praised by fans of slow-life simulation games. Many reviews commend its warm and delicate art style, poetic lighting and seasonal transitions, and soothing soundtrack dominated by soft piano and strings, all of which create a relaxing and immersive atmosphere. Players generally feel that while the gameplay is less varied or complex than traditional farming simulators, its heartfelt storytelling and nuanced character portrayal evoke genuine emotional resonance. However, some critics note that for players accustomed to fast-paced progression or challenging gameplay, the tempo may feel too slow and the objectives somewhat unclear. Still, for those seeking a therapeutic and immersive rural life experience, Honoburashi no Niwa is undoubtedly a title worth savoring.
